 I received a traffic ticket...now what do I do? First of all, read the instructions on the back of the ticket. It explains your options in detail. Be aware the "court date" on the front of the ticket is NOT the date you should appear in court. This is a deadline for either paying the ticket, or notifying the court of your intention to contest the charge. If you choose to contest it, the court will set up a hearing date and notify you by mail. If you still have questions, call the 52-4 District Court at 248-528-0400.
My car was impounded. How do I get it back? Cars impounded by the police department are normally held at A & M Towing, 2075 Austin, Troy.

If your car was impounded following a traffic crash, you can tell your insurance company where the car is, and they will instruct you from there.
