Plea Form
(Infractions)
Fill out this form if:
You accept the charges on your infraction ticket,
You want to plead guilty or no contest in this case, and
You want to plead using this form instead of going to court.
1 Your Information
Name: Case Number:
Street or Mailing Address:
Tel.: Email (optional): Date of Birth:
2 Charges I am pleading guilty or no contest to the following traffic infraction(s):
Section and Code:
3 You have the following rights:
To have a lawyer represent you (at your expense).
To an interpreter if you do not speak English well.
To a speedy court trial within 45 days of your first court date. At that trial, you have the right to not testify
against yourself, to subpoena witnesses to testify for your case, and to see and question witnesses.
To appeal the court’s decision.
4 If you check Guilty or No contest below, that means:
You accept the charge(s) on the ticket.
There will not be a trial or witnesses.
You give up the rights explained on this form.
A “no contest” plea is basically the same as a “guilty” plea. It is a way of saying, “I don’t believe I did all that the
officer charges, but I admit violating the law.” This plea is traditionally used if there was an accident or other
reason you don’t want the plea to be used as an admission of liability in a civil case related to the incident.
5 Your Plea Check one: Guilty No Contest
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of the California that there are facts to support my plea,
and that the information I have provided on this form is true and correct.
