41B District Court - Clinton Township Traffic Records
The 41B District Court handles all traffic ticket records for Clinton Township. The courthouse is at 22380 23 Mile Road in Macomb, MI 48042. Note that the court's address puts it in Macomb Township, but it serves both communities. When you get a ticket in Clinton Township, the case is filed here. This is where you go to pay, contest, or request records.
Traffic enforcement in Clinton Township focuses on several high-volume corridors. Hall Road (M-59) runs through the township and sees heavy daily traffic, making it a common location for speeding and signal violations. Gratiot Avenue and Garfield Road are also active enforcement areas. Under MCL 257.907, civil infractions in Michigan are resolved by admission, admission with explanation, or at a formal or informal hearing. Every step in that process creates records the 41B District Court keeps on file.
Because Clinton Township is the largest township in Michigan by population, the 41B District Court handles a large volume of traffic cases. Staff can search records by name or case number. In-person record requests are accepted during business hours. Bring the name on the citation, the date, and the case number if you have it. The court can be reached at (586) 412-5900.
If a traffic violation in Clinton Township involved a crash, accident reports under MCL 257.617 are filed separately with Michigan State Police or the local law enforcement agency that responded. Those reports are a different document from the court record. You may need both the accident report and the court case file depending on why you are looking for the records.

Search Clinton Township Traffic Records Online
The primary online tool for Clinton Township traffic ticket records is MiCOURT, Michigan's statewide case search system. MiCOURT is free and does not require an account. Search by name or case number to find charges, hearing dates, case status, and dispositions. It is a useful first step before calling the 41B District Court directly.
The Michigan Courts website, shown above, serves as the official directory for all Michigan district courts. It links to individual court pages and provides contact details for the 41B District Court and other courts in Macomb County. This is a good resource if you need to confirm contact information or find forms for a court appearance.
MiCOURT shows public case data only. If a record has limited access or is sealed, it will not show in the search results. For certified copies or the full case file, contact the 41B District Court at (586) 412-5900. Mail requests are also accepted with the case details and a check or money order for copy fees.
Points and Your Driving Record
Traffic convictions from Clinton Township cases are reported to the Michigan Secretary of State and added to your driving record under MCL 257.320. Points are assessed when you are convicted or when you fail to respond to a civil infraction notice. The number of points depends on the specific violation. Minor speeding is 2 to 3 points. Reckless driving is 6 points. Some violations, like texting while driving, carry their own point values.
Michigan tracks points over a two-year rolling window. Reaching 12 points or more can trigger a reexamination by the Secretary of State. That hearing may result in restricted driving privileges or a license suspension. Points do not expire at the one-year mark. The full two-year period applies to every point on your record. If you are near the 12-point limit, it may be worth discussing options with an attorney before your hearing date at the 41B.
Your driving record is kept by the Michigan Secretary of State, not the 41B District Court. You can order a copy of your driving abstract online through ExpressSOS or visit a local Secretary of State branch. A conviction at the 41B flows automatically into the SOS system. Checking your abstract before a hearing can help you understand what is at stake if another point is added.
Hall Road (M-59) is one of the most commonly cited roads in Clinton Township. Speed limit enforcement and signal violations on that corridor generate a large share of the cases at the 41B. If you received a ticket there and are deciding whether to pay or contest it, the point value of the specific violation is a key factor. Speeding 16 or more mph over the limit carries 4 points, which is enough to put you close to a reexamination threshold depending on your current record.
Getting Copies of Clinton Township Traffic Records
To get copies of traffic ticket records from Clinton Township cases, contact the 41B District Court clerk. In-person requests are the fastest option. Staff can search by name or case number and provide copies the same day in most cases. Plain copies cost $1.00 per page. Certified copies cost more and are typically needed for legal proceedings or license reinstatement.
Mail requests are accepted at 22380 23 Mile Road, Macomb, MI 48042. Include the full name on the citation, the date of the offense, and the case number if you have it. Add a check or money order for the applicable fee. Call (586) 412-5900 before mailing if you are unsure of the cost or need to confirm the case details. Mail requests may take longer to process than in-person visits.
If you need your full driving record rather than a specific court case file, request a BDVR-154 through the Secretary of State. Under MCL 257.208c, Michigan residents can request their own driving abstract. The fastest way is through ExpressSOS online. The abstract and the 41B court record together give you the most complete picture of any Clinton Township traffic case on your record.
