A violation notice, also known as a ticket or citation, may be handwritten or typed, just like a traffic or parking ticket. For example, a federal officer may issue a violation notice to a person accused of parking illegally at a VA hospital. The violation notice is tracked by the CVB, which also schedules a court hearing for the violation and accepts payment for the fine indicated in the violation notice, referred to as the total collateral amount.
