What is a traffic case?

If you violate the Michigan Motor Vehicle code, and are issued a ticket by a police officer, you may be subject to fines and points on your driving record, if it is a civil infraction.  If your ticket is for a misdemeanor traffic violation, the penalty may include a jail sentence.  Both civil infractions and misdemeanor tickets may be disputed in a court hearing or trial.
