First day back in CA and i get a ticket

[Collin]

I guess it's kind of a trade off.

In PA we don't have to run front plates, but we can't get medical marijuana.

[delatlanta1281]

Wait, is your car registered in CA?
I never had a problem with GA tags there.

Come to the south. No emission bull shit. Inspection sticker consists of making sure lights and horns work. That's it. No front plate.

We don't even have yearly inspections anymore.

oh man don't even get me started..

i feel your pain i have a shit load of tickets for stupid shit fucking pigs.:hitler:

plus are courthouse here in San Antonio charges 3 bucks or so to park does anybody else court charge for parking?

[bddog]

In CA, at most courthouses, the Marshall will still sign them for free.Some are $10.

[CAOSyAMOR]

oh man don't even get me started..

[BTP325ic]

Weird, we don't have to go to court or pay any fine. Just flag down a cop, he signs it, mail the ticket in.

lucky ass i hate going downtown and talking to those fucking judges theirs dicks and so is everyone at the courthouse.:hitler:

cali cops suck! at least the chp does. they get you for everything. in sf you can get away with a lot.

Very odd.... When I had a fix it ticket, it was written by a CHP officer. I had to go to the CHP station to have them write it off since local PD's would not. CHP officers do not have to stick to highways, a lot of people believe that they do. They patrol highway and work with allied agencies patrolling streets as well. Depending upon the size of your city and how their PD staffing is looking, you may not see them on the streets much.

CHP has to sign off CHP's tickets, Though you could be correct on the dollar amount.

I went through this about a month ago. I got pulled over by CHP (off of the highway btw), and got my tickets signed off by my local PD. The CHP officer even said any LEO can sign it off.
The dollar amount was $10 until January 1 of this year, then it was increased to $25 for each violation. Ask me how I know.

Similar in CA, BJ.... you have 45 days IIRC, gotta have a cop sign it off (unless CHP wrote it, then CHP has to sign it off) and pay the $15 fine.

Any LEO can sign it off and it's $25 for each infraction.

so what happened? u fix it then go to court and thats it right?

Ya they were just fix it tickets, so I put my CA plate on and put stock tail lights on and got the ticket signed off by my local PD, and paid the $50 fine ($25 each). Kind of a hassle, but the price you have to pay. I don't have a problem paying the fine as it is illegal, but I was a little frustrated by how the police officer pulled me over. Even the police officer who signed my ticket off said it was a bit ridiculous.
