East Point's Municipal Court offers an Amnesty Program

If you have been lax on paying your parking and traffic tickets, this is for you:

 

East Point's Municipal Court will offer an Amnesty Program to those with unpaid parking and traffic tickets and Failure to Appear Warrants. 

The five-day program will begin Monday, March 22, 2010 and end March 26, 2010. The court will be open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Thursday and from 8:00 am to 4:45 pm on Friday during the amnesty period.

If you have an outstanding ticket, at the option of the judge, additional “failure to appear” fees MAY be waived upon FULL PAYMENTS of original fines. Those who have had their licenses previously suspended will get a release from the Court Department upon payment of fines.

If you have an active probation with the City of East Point and a warrant has been issued for your arrest you are encouraged to contact the Probation Department at 404-209-0682 or 404-559-6250 Extension 2 to discuss your case during this amnesty period.

Following the amnesty period, the court will turn over responsibility for collection of all unpaid fines to a collection agency and warrants to the Police Department for service. To avoid any additional collection charges or unwanted arrest, individuals should make use of the amnesty program. The Court staff encourages those interested to come early and avoid possible long lines.
