A group of Kansas City area cities wants to give those who have violated their laws a break. North Kansas City, Riverside, Parkville and Platte City all will hold an amnesty day for people wanted on outstanding municipal warrants, mostly traffic tickets and minor offences. On Wednesday, violators will be allowed to report to the city without getting arrested. They will be allowed to either arrange a new court date or pay their overdue fines. Organizers of the special day say it will give offenders a chance to clear their records and start fresh without fearing arrest and jail time.
