Can a court legally lst my cell phone and address?
I live in Ohio, I got a speeding ticket
last week and the court has an online
payment system. You search by last name
and boom there it is along with my
address and my cell phone number. Is
there anything I can do to get the
information removed? I saw this after
the court closed so I cannot call them
until Monday.

Yes, they may list this information, just as anyone who knows your address or cell phone number may give them out to anyone they like or publish them online. There is nothing confidential, secret, or protected about an address or phone number (the way bank account and social security numbers are protected); you have no right to block anyone, including a court, from listing or displaying this information.
