Need some LE insight if anyone feels like sharing.

I got a parking ticket and a citation 13 days ago, but neither of them are showing up on ecourt kokua. Does that mean the officer did not file within the 10 day limit? Or does it mean they probably submitted it but things are so backed up that the clerks never got around to putting it in the computer? 

Both charges are BS and the cop may have thought I was an illegal beach lounger but changed his mind when he saw me coming back with a surfboard under my arm. I was not there when he wrote the tickets, but there was a cop car watching me when I got back.

A tickets is considered a summons and is not converted into a court case until it passes the response date.  There should be a court appearance date as well as a "pay the fine by" date on the ticket.  If you pay by the due date, the ticket is entered into the system along with your guilty plea and payment.

If you decide to appear in court (or ignore it beyond the court date), it should then be entered into the system along with any followup info.

My daughter fought a speeding ticket and won.  It didn't show up online until the month after she appeared.

I imagine this helps keep dismissed tickets from being entered, which would be wasted time and resources to enter and then delete. 

You have the option to write a letter to the court explaining why the ticket was issued wrongly.  If it's dismissed, it never shows up online.  That's what happened when my wife was ticketed at Walmart for parking in a handicap spot.  She had lost her placard, it was a holiday (no way to get a replacement), BUT she left her parking permit card on the dash.  The ticketer even wrote that he saw the permit on the dash!!  That ticket was dismissed with no further action and no online record.

Just a few thoughts.  Things change, but that's what happened in our situations.  My ex-wife's dismissed ticket still isn't in the system -- I just searched for it.

Dismissed stuff still should show up online. "Dismissed with prejudice" or without. If not, its prob a clerical error.

Parking tickets might show up by licenze plate and not by ur name.

Nope.  Traffic tickets are not criminal cases.  They don't have to be entered as anything if it was dismissed administratively.

Once the case was dismissed, her name would have been listed as the defendant.

It might be possible for Hvy to try that, though.  I could be wrong, but my experience tells me it won't be entered until he's had time to pay or contest it.

I have speeding tickets that show as dismissed with prejudice. Cell phone, dismissed without prejudice. Wrote letters for both. Not sure if that matters.

How many tickets? 

"They" might want to keep tabs on certain law breakers, and not so with the rest of us!   :tinfoil:

I checked both my name and license plate number and pulled up my history, but nothing new so far. So it sounds like I should respond with a letter to the ticket, and keep checking back for the court date on the citation (being in a closed park). Too bad none of the court phone numbers work. You would think having just a few clerks answering questions would not expose anyone to great risk, especially now that downtown is abandoned.

I believe most active shooters can read -- especially since so many are in high school and college.

My car was cited for being in a closed park, even though technically it was only next to a park and there weren't any No Parking signs.

I am sure most read Rolling Stoned, Mother Stones, Democrat Underground, etc.
