Department Of State Moving Violations
Moving Violations, Driving Records, and the Point System
OFM maintains driving records on everyone possessing a State Department driver license and has a point system to record moving traffic violations. Everyone receiving a traffic ticket which carries a fine is expected to either pay the fine or contest the ticket. If a ticket is contested, a court appearance is required. The Department requests applicable immunities be waived by the sending government so the mission member may appear in court to contest the ticket. An express waiver of immunity must be granted before this can happen.

A subpoena is a court order to appear or bring information to a court proceeding.
The target of the subpoena can object to the order, and a case within a case can evolve that deals solely with the subpoena. A subpoena has to be "served" on the party being ordered to produce information or testimony. Anyone can serve a subpoena, as long as they are not directly involved in the litigation. Along with the expense, another downside of subpoenas is that the information is usually not produced until the time of trial. For purposes of developing a defense it is desirable to have all relevant information well before your trial.
