Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency – 100 Veterans Memorial Highway, Hauppauge, NY 11788
Most speeding tickets and traffic tickets issued in Suffolk County New York are returnable to the Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency, also known as the SCTPVA. Tickets issued along with a misdemeanor traffic charge should be sent to the Suffolk County First District Court however often the tickets are often separated by the police with some tickets being sent to the SCTPVA and others being sent to the criminal court in Central Islip. In the past, the Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency had very strict guidelines and policies and was viewed by many lawyers as the most difficult court in New York State. For example, the Agency had policies that forbid plea bargaining on any 11 point speed that resulted in a reduction, and almost always insisted on a license suspension on those tickets. The court also would often seek long suspension periods for drivers operating commercial vehicles while using a cell phone or portable electronic device. One-year suspensions were not uncommon. Those policies and guidelines have since been removed and now with the assistance of legal counsel, motorists can secure much better resolutions than in the past. If you have a ticket returnable to the Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency its best to retain a Suffolk County traffic lawyer or Hauppauge traffic lawyer. They are familiar with the court, the prosecutors and the judges and understand how the cases are adjudicated in that court.
