RALEIGH, N.C. – You will now be able to file to dismiss certain traffic offenses online. That means no more driving across the state if your cited in another county, or spending your morning in traffic court.
Beginning July 18th drivers across the state will have access to the new system known as ECAD or Electronic Compliance and Dismissal. According to state Senator Shirley Randleman, the system will allow for dismissal of traffic offenses such as: no operator's license, failure to carry a valid driver's license, expired operator's license, expired/no tag, registration plate displayedd, no registration, canceled/revoked/suspended certificate/tag and expired card/tag.
The system has been called a success in Forsyth and Mecklenburg counties and is now being rolled out statewide.
You can request to dismiss certain traffic violations including: no operator’s license, failure to carry a valid driver’s license, expired operator’s license, expired/no tag, registration plate not displayed, no registration, canceled/revoked/suspended certificate/tag, and expired registration card/tag.

BLUE ALERT SYSTEM
Governor McCrory signed several bills passed by the General Assembly this week. One of those includes House Bill 1044. The bill creates a new statewide alert system within the North Carolina Center for Missing Persons.
The new alert system called, “Blue Alert System” aims to help aid in the apprehension of a suspect who has killed or inflicted serious bodily injury to a law enforcement officer.
The bill also expands the definition of an “Emergency” under the North Carolina Emergency Management Act to include occurrences or imminent threats resulting from terrorism, public health causes, explosions, technological failure or accident, including cyber-incidents, transportation accidents, radiological accidents, or chemical or other hazardous material incidents.
