About The Court: Queensbury Town Court is located at 81
Glenwood Avenue in Queensbury, New York. Its postal zip code is 12804. It is located within Warren County. The Court maintains local jurisdiction over
legal matters. It has limited
subject matter jurisdiction. For
the most part, this court will preside over small claims cases, misdemeanor
crimes, and traffic tickets.
Who has the power to
issue a ticket returnable to Queensbury Justice Court?
Many police share jurisdiction in Queensbury. The majority of speeding tickets issued
in Interstate I-87 are written by the New York State Police. However, tickets returnable to this
court can also be issued by County Police, MTA Police, Park Police and more.
What would happen if
a driver fills in Section A on the ticket and enters a plea of guilty?
A plea of guilty to the charge is the equivalent to a
conviction after trial. If you are
convicted, not only will you be liable to a penalty, but in addition, your
license to drive a motor vehicle or motorcycle, and your certificate of
registration can be subject to a suspension and revocation.
How can a driver
plead guilty by mail?
If you would like to plead guilty to the non-misdemeanor
traffic ticket, you should place an “x” through Section B and complete Section
A of the ticket. Don’t forget to sign it.
You mail the ticket back to the court with some form of return receipt
requested.
Can the court reject
a plea of guilty by mail?
Yes. It is up
to the judge to accept the plea. If the plea of guilty is rejected, a driver
will be given a letter advising them of a future court date.
If you plead guilty,
make sure you read Section A in its entirety.
In part, Section A reads, “I
acknowledge receipt of the warning printed in bold type on the other side of
this ticket and I waive arraignment in open court and the aid of an
Attorney. I plead GUILTY to the
offense as charged and request that this charge be disposed of and a fine or
penalty fixed by the court.”
By signing this statement it may be very difficult for a
driver to undo their guilty plea.
In some instances, a driver will plead guilty and then wish to undo
their plea several weeks later.
They may do this because they have discovered that the Department of
Motor Vehicles has suspended their privilege to drive or their insurance
company had raised their rates. Signing
Section A, the driver waives a significant portion of their rights and will
find it difficult to undo their plea of guilty.
