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. Certain East End Villages such as The Village of Westhampton Beach maintain their own separate Justice Court and Police Force.
Westhampton Beach Justice court Traffic Ticket
If you were pulled over by Westhampton Beach Police and received a traffic ticket in the Village of Westhampton, you will usually need to appear in Westhampton Beach Justice Court. The Court hears traffic tickets on Wednesday afternoons and has 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 increase your insurance rates and can lead to more severe consequences including additional fees and license suspension/revocations.
