Campaign Seeks to Help Motorists Clear Up Unpaid Traffic Tickets
Individuals who have unpaid traffic tickets in the Las Vegas Township Justice Court will be offered amnesty until February 6, 2009 to pay an outstanding obligation.
“We are offering amnesty to anyone who wants to come in and clear up an outstanding ticket or warrant with no additional penalties,” said Chief Judge Douglas E. Smith. “Once amnesty is over, you risk additional fines, a mark on your credit report, or even arrest if you fail to take advantage of it. Amnesty is your best opportunity to take care of a longstanding obligation with the court.”
Amnesty for unpaid traffic obligations will remain in effect until February 6, 2009. Starting February 9, 2009 the court will begin enforcing warrants for all unpaid traffic tickets in the Las Vegas Justice Court. Individuals with outstanding warrants risk arrest for failure to pay an outstanding traffic obligation. The warrants will be enforced by local law enforcement.
“We are pleased to work as a partner of the court and will actively enforce warrants for unpaid tickets once this amnesty ends,” said Las Vegas Township Constable Robert (Bobby G.) Gronauer.
Individuals with outstanding traffic obligations with the Las Vegas Township Justice Court are encouraged to resolve them by calling the court’s automated phone system at (702) 671-3444 or (877) 455-1289, visiting the court’s payment website found in English: www.clarkcountycourts.us/paythefine and in Spanish: www.clarkcountycourts.us/pagarlamulta, or by coming in person to the Traffic Division Office on the First Floor of the Regional Justice Center at 200 Lewis Avenue.
