I-81 is a main highway runs through the heart of Barker
Town. It is a highway that
connects Western New York with Downstate New York. Many college
students and families traveling on vacation
fail to keep a vigilant eye on the changing speed limits and find themselves
facing the flashing lights of police car. Unbeknownst to the driver, a conviction to speeding ticket at 86/65 can result in a fine close to $400.00, a penalty fee from DMV at $300.00, and insurance increases for years to follow.

Traffic Ticket Update
Barker maintains one of the busiest traffic courts in all of
Broome County. This is due in part
of the large number of New York State Police Officers that patrol their
municipal roads and State Highways.
We often hear from many drivers from Canada, New York City,
and other passersby that find themselves on the wrong side of the law with a
hefty speeding ticket.
A contributing factor to the high volume of tickets issued
can be attributed to I-81 passing through the heart of town. The portion of I-81 that runs through
Barker is patrolled by the New York State Police.

The court is a lower level court in the New York State
judicial system. Compared to some
other courts such as the Broome County Court and Broome County Supreme Court,
this local court has limited jurisdictional power. With respect to civil cases, it can adjudicate matters
normally referred to as small claims cases. It is limited in the dollar amount in controversy that it
can hear. Some common disputes
routinely heard in this court may be landlord tenant cases, lemon law issues,
and breach of contract cases. It
has the power to arraign criminal matters and set bail on some felonies. It is clear that traffic tickets are
the majority of cases heard in this court in any particular year. One of the most common tickets
adjudicated are speeding tickets governed under VTL 1180. While the court is extremely busy, it
runs very efficiently and professionally.
It has superb court staff and is lead by a wonderful court clerk thereby
