When Kentucky counties are in the "red zone" according to kycovid19.ky.gov , you may be able to request a virtual court appearance (by Zoom, Skype, or Micr osoft Teams). This varies by Judge and county, and depends on your charges and bond conditions. Many felony charges still require personal appearance and not showing up could result in a warrant or the Judge revoking your bond. You'll want to CALL JOHN to inquire about a virtual appearance. The map changes daily, so you'll want to check it frequently, if you're gauging whethe r to travel for your court appearance.

How to Handle a Traffic Citation: Be respectful to the officer. Do not just pay the ticket – paying is pleding guilty and is the worst possible outcome. Call an attorney – specifically, call JPS Law at (859) 240-7480 . People make a few silly decisions after they have received a ticket. The two most common are disrespecting the officer and just paying the ticket. You can challenge most all traffic tickets, and your chances of having the ticket reduced or dismissed is only possible if you yourself show up to court or hire an attorney to handle the ticket. NEVER disrespect an officer, keep your comments short and do not admit to any violation or make any excuses for misconduct. These statements can be used as admissions and if your conduct is disrespectful it can often result in the prosecutor refusing to negotiate down the citation at all.
