Municipal Court Citations
Plea Options:
You have three plea options. If you do not wish to contest the citation, you may enter a plea of either NO CONTEST or GUILTY. If you wish to contest the citation, you may enter a NOT GUILTY plea. Following are the municipal court citation instructions that go over your options in more detail.
Driving Record Points:
If you are found guilty of a traffic violation, your driving record may be charged with demerit points. The court does not determine the number of points assessed against your record. The court will merely report the conviction to the Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles and the DMV will assess the number of points against your record, depending on the charge.
If you accumulate 12 points against your driving record within a one-year period by the date of violations, your license will be suspended or revoked.
