Each of the Five Eastern Towns of Suffolk County (Southampton, East Hampton, Riverhead, Southold and Shelter Island) maintain their own Justice Courts with jurisdiction over speeding tickets, stop sign tickets, red light tickets and various other traffic tickets. The Town of Southampton maintains its own police department responsible for the patrol and general law enforcement of the majority of the Town. When an Officer within the Town issues a traffic ticket, the defendant most likely will answer the ticket at the Southampton Town Justice Court located at 32 Jackson Ave., Hampton Bays, NY 11946.
Southampton Town Justice Court
Southampton Town Justice Court is one of the busiest justice courts in the entire State of New York. The Court generally hears traffic tickets on Monday afternoons and tends to have a very large calendar for these days. Many people choose to forego the hassle of going to court by pleading guilty by mail. Pleading guilty to any moving violation will likely result in a set number of points being placed on your license. Points will likely increase your insurance rates and can lead to more severe consequences including potential additional fees and license suspension/revocations.
