So here's the scoop. Met the lawyer who is also a retired NYC cop. After listening to me she called her brother who is a NYC Transit cop!! Her brother informed her that the ticket is Civil and does not show up anywhere even if a fine is paid voluntarily or after appearance before the Court...

I am really thankful to all of you. I am of course fighting the ticket. Will take a lawyer and my son to the court. The woman who I was helping has stopped picking up my phone so I doubt she will come to the court or sign any statement. Would offer to pay the fine as donation or something if the...

For citizenship, they would look at your conduct for the last five years barring any thing major such as criminal history etc. However, you have not written why you were deported. Unless it was for a major reason, you should be absolutely fine.

He put "O" in the place for race? What does that mean?

The officer checked "Entered without payment" as I mentioned before.

I actually wanted to go to the MTA today itself, but I was told that the ticket was not even in their system.

That's what I thought until I read the other case of a mother and son - almost the same scenario but she was still fined.

Curiously enough, the Ticket is issued by "Transit Adjudication Bureau".

From what I read, it appears that no matter what, the MTA adjudicators always fine you. Over 85 % convictions. Stories abound of many people who had unlimited tickets being cited by the officers and convictions upheld even if there was any problem with their own equipment. They were even sued...

I found out that the hearings are just like parking tickets. You show up; first come, first served; bring your witnesses and statements etc. Doubt if the officers show up. I was told by the clerk that its not a criminal court so there are no judges but they have adjudicators (apparently, civil).

I had bought a single ride (which is white in color) for myself that I used for my son and used his School Metro card (which is also white) for myself. The officer also kept my son's card so there is no way of producing it showing that it was used only once.

Yes. In Queens.

"Entered without payment" In the details part, he wrote: "Officer observed respondent use a student metro card that does not belong to him in order to avoid legal payment of fare"

Thanks Thanks nkm-Oct23 for the words of encouragement. I went online and researched this issue the entire night. Unfortunately, everyone appears to think that fare evasion is a cmt. Do you know anyone who has come across this situation personally? I didn't even go to work today. I cannot...

Filed my citizenship application just a fortnight ago. I had one conviction for disorderly conduct in 1998 for which I paid $ 100 fine. Yesterday, I was stopped at the subway station when I was with my son for fare evasion. My son and I were helping a woman with a child in stroller and a lot of...
