§ 40842 Contempt For Subpoena Violations

• •If you get an official order to go to a hearing and don't show up, you can get in trouble.
• •If you don't bring the papers or things you were told to bring, you can get in trouble.
• •If you refuse to answer questions that the hearing board thinks are important, you can get in trouble.
• •The hearing board will tell the court if you do any of these things.

You get a letter saying you must go to a hearing about a car accident you saw, and you must bring any photos you took.

If you don’t go to the hearing, or you go but don’t bring the photos, or you refuse to answer questions about what you saw, the hearing board can report you to the court for being in trouble.
