Kansas City Municipal Court 1101 Locust Kansas City, Missouri 64105 816.513.2700 General Information: Kansas City will amend speeding tickets to Defective Equipments. A Defective Equipment is a non-moving violation and will not be reported to the Department of Revenue. Generally, Kansas City will not require the appearance of the Defendant on a speeding ticket. This does not apply to people who were written a ticket for going 21 miles per hour or over. If you are under the age of 21, you will be required to take the “Alive at Twenty-Five” class. Costs: A defective equipment in Kansas City costs between $193.50 and $293.50. Speeding Ticket Procedure: You should already have a copy of a yellow ticket. The ticket will generally say mail-in for the court date and your speed is denoted in the middle of the ticket. Kansas City generally gives people 30 days to send in the money or to request a not guilty court date. After 30 days, you are sent a pink reminder that the ticket is due by a certain date. This is not a warrant, rather just a reminder. If you choose to pay the speeding ticket, you will be assessed two points which is reflected on your driving record. This may affect your insurance rates. You may request a not guilty court date by calling 513-2700. They will assign you a day to appear in court. Once at court, you can plead guilty, not guilty or a continuance. If you plead guilty, the court will assess you a fine and you will also receive points on your record. If you plead not guilty, the Court will conduct a trial. If the police officer is not there, the Court will allow the Prosecutor one continuance to get the officer there. If he/she is not there for the second date, the Prosecutor will likely dismiss the ticket
