Overland Park Things To Do

Question: speeding violation in Kansas?

I was pulled over in Kansas (Overland Park) for speeding. The officer issued me a verbal, and I thought that was the end of it (I did not receive a summons to appear in court). about a month later i received a letter from the city saying that I had missed my court date (I had received nothing prior in the mail regarding this). I called the “Justice Center”, who told me the officer turned in the ticket to them. The only option I saw was to plead not guilty because the officer had issued me a verbal warning and had never physically issued me a summons. Can he retroactively issue me a summons without notice after issuing a verbal warning, or do I not have anything to stand when it goes to court? I would think it highly unfair that the police could do such a thing.

Any insight would be appreciated, Thanks.

Answer: A police officer doesn't even have to pull you over to issue you a citation.
While something like you describe sounds pretty unfortunate, I'd really hope that it was just a case of him not explaining something to you so you could understand it.

He can do what you're saying he did, but I've never heard of it happening before.

Overland Park Parks And Recreation

El Cajas National Park boasts a most varied and spectacular scenery.  Its 70,000 acres with an average altitude of 3,000 meters, are mostly páramo (high Andean moorlands) with scattered jagged peaks and over 200 lakes and lagoons of glacier origin, connected to each other by small rivers and streams. Two of the rivers that run through Cuenca, Tomebamba and Yanuncay, are born in El Cajas.

El Cajas is raw environmental beauty, rich in scenery, biodiversity, and recreational opportunities, mainly trekking and hiking; its cold atmosphere gives a sense of solitude, where mosses, lichens and ferns cling tightly to the rocks, and patches of primary forest are tucked in the crevices of rugged terrain.  The hardy vegetation, most of it with strong hairy leaves, includes small quinua trees and the polylepis or “paper tree”. 
The park’s animal inhabitants are elusive, but guests may get a glimpse of the wild llamas that were re-introduced to the park in the late 1990s, rabbits and white-tailed deer.  The bird list is long featuring the largest hummingbird, mountain toucans and ducks.

If you are in Cuenca, instead of flying to your next destination, drive from Cuenca to Guayaquil via El Cajas (about a 3-hour drive) with a stop at Llaviucu Lake (also known as Zorrocucho), for a short stroll and for a view of La Toreadora Lake; beautiful scenery!   Ask for Metropolitan Touring MT-354 overland transfer from Cuenca to Guayaquil, with English-speaking guide that includes box lunch and the entrance fee to El Cajas National Park.

Only 21 miles to the west of Cuenca, El Cajas National Park  must be preserved for its water potential, with Andean cloud forests that act like a sponge by soaking up water that Cuenca then utilizes, unique flora and fauna and as a delightful destination for tourism.

We also offer Tours to Ecuador and Galapagos Islands Tours
