REJIS is also exploring ways it can develop the website further to offer other features, such as the ability to pay tickets straight from the site.

For now, the website will be similar to Case.net, which is where the public can access case information for the state courts. The office of state courts administrator runs that site, and although a number of municipal courts statewide also use that service, only six of them are in St. Louis County.

In the push for municipal court reform, St. Louis County has received the most criticism.

One issue that has come to light is the sheer number of outstanding warrants on tickets. Some people didn’t even know that they had several outstanding warrants across different jurisdictions, or that their license had been suspended for failing to show up to court. They’d learn of it when they were stopped for a new ticket, arrested and brought to court.

Engelmeyer said this website would go a long way toward solving those types of problems.

“If you’re trying to get legal, what an easy way to do it,” he said. “This will give people the opportunity to just get on there, see what they’ve got, and work toward getting their license back.”
