Flagi was a passenger and I threw a coffee a cup out of my window while driving in merriam, ks and got a ticket from a traffic cop, so what are my options. Can I amend it to a smaller violation
I believe the last answer is incorrect in that he is quoting Kansas law. I assume you got stopped in Kansas City, Missouri?
I don't know the fine amounts off the top of my head, but most jurisdictions post their fines schedules online. Yes, you should be able to get this amended to "illegal parking" or something similar. However, the prosecutor will usually only agree to do that if you have an attorney.
Misdemeanor. First conviction: fine of not less than $250 nor more than $1,000. Second conviction: fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $2,000. Third conviction: fine of not less than $2,000 nor more than $4000. In all cases, requirement to pick up litter for length of time at court's discretion.
Kansas § 21-3722.
Hope it was good coffee.
