🏛️ Do You Have to Go to Court for a Lake Winnebago Speeding Ticket?

Getting a speeding ticket in Lake Winnebago, Missouri is frustrating enough—but do you actually need to show up in court?

In most cases, no. With legal help, most tickets are resolved without a court appearance, without points, and without long-term consequences.


🗺️ Where Are Tickets Handled?

Speeding tickets issued by Lake Winnebago police are processed by:

Lake Winnebago Municipal Court
10 Winnebago Drive
Lake Winnebago, MO 64034

Some cases are also heard in Cass County Circuit Court in Harrisonville, depending on the charge severity.


⚠️ What Happens If You Just Pay the Ticket?

Paying a ticket = pleading guilty.

This results in:

  • 2–3 points on your license

  • Insurance hikes for 3+ years

  • A moving violation conviction

  • Suspension risk if you already have points

Even minor infractions, like 6 mph over the limit, can put your license at risk if they stack up.


⚖️ What Happens If You Go to Court?

If you appear in court without legal representation, you may:

  • Be offered a generic plea deal

  • Have to return for a future trial date

  • End up pleading guilty and accepting points

  • Risk higher fines and more permanent consequences
