I received a trespassing ticket in North Carolina that requires me to go to court. Is there any way I can pay the fine without going to court? If I need to go to court, what should I do? I am an international student and will be returning to China soon, so I want to keep my record clean.

I scratched a car while parking at my local train station, had to catch a train so I called the police department once I got on the train. I took a picture of the license plate and the police left my contact information with the car. I'm going to the police department tonight to pick up my 'report'. Is that any indication that I have to go to court? Additionally, I was pulled over for speeding last month and fear suspension of my license. What are the implications of this situation, and how much of an increase would six-nine points add to my insurance premium?

I believe the town of Newton has violated my civil rights. Daniel Flynn, a town council member, posted my name, address, and phone number on the Newton Police Facebook page, accusing me of being a slumlord and damaging the community. I own the only licensed rooming house in Sussex County, and I feel this is a consent battle against me. What legal actions can I take against Daniel Flynn?
