What is an SIS on my St. Louis traffic ticket or Missouri traffic ticket case?
An SIS is a “Suspended Imposition of Sentence” where you are placed on probation. In an SIS you waive your right to a trial and Plead Guilty in Court to some offense (DWI or other) but the Conviction is not entered onto your criminal record. Instead the Plea is placed in your file for the term of your probation. If you successfully complete all of the terms of your probation then you will not receive a conviction and the criminal case is closed. If you violate the terms of your probation you will face a probation revocation hearing. As a result of the probation revocation hearing the Judge may decide to revoke your probation, enter the previous Plea of Guilty into the record, and sentence you, as your right to a trial will have been previously waived as a part of the SIS.
