Most tickets, like speeding and passed red light,  issued by police on the roadside are "traffic infractions." Traffic infractions are not criminal but convictions can causes suspensions, additional fines, and potential insurance increases. Azria & Bruffett has helped thousands of people minimize the impact of all types of traffic tickets on their life and record.  

Some Traffic Tickets, like Aggravated Unlicensed Operation, are Crimes

Some tickets given at the roadside are crimes and usually charged as misdemeanors under New York Law. The most common traffic crime is called "Aggravated Unlicensed Operation." An AUO will be charged if a driver's license is suspended from a court, DMV, or otherwise.

As a crime, AUO requires the accused to appear in court from an arraignment.  As a misdemeanor the maximum possible sentence is up to one year in prison, And to clear suspensions, the accused must deal with all of the courts were those suspensions are in effect.
