Do You Have to Pay for a Warning Ticket?

Officers use their own discretion whether to issue a citation or warning. The motorist may receive the warning either verbally or written, but will not be charged with the offense, will not have to pay a fine, and will not receive any points.

What happens when a cop gives you a warning?

What happens if I get a warning? If you receive a warning, the police can't take any further action against you. There cannot be any conditions or additional punishment attached to the warning.

Is a warning the same as a ticket?

Do written warnings count as a ticket? No. A written warning is when a police officer pulls you over but doesn't issue you a ticket or citation. You don't need to do anything about these warnings, and they won't be on your record.
