I know the obvious of being polite and respectful. do I show up early like an airport? Do I just show the guard my ticket? Anything I should know or be aware of?

    It’s simple really. Be honest and reasonable to the judge, and they will likely be reasonable back especially if this is a first offense. Give only as much information as requested, though, never offer information unless you’re certain it won’t be used against you.

      never offer information unless you’re certain it won’t be used against you.

      Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

      Offer only as much information as is necessary, even if you’re sure it won’t be used against you.
