What's even more amazing is that it doesn't seem to matter much. Everyday, Californians are ticketed for these offenses...by the thousands.

The legislature just passed a new law that requires bartenders to wear gloves when garnishing a drink. I **** you not.

[HUSKER55]

now you all becareful out there...

say what?
I hope this isn't what I think it is :eek:

[tucker6]

and this great company a couple weeks ago offered me a good job in CA. Told him I'd take less money and work/travel from SC. Nice state, but they really are clueless out there.

Dan,

Did you notice the hat the kid was wearing in that first car chase? LOL

Betcha most of the time there's another citation issued when this is the reason for being pulled over.

Not clueless just greedy.

I was referring to the citizenry, but you are correct with what you say. Social engineering run amok.

Depends on the charge probably. Some will have added fees if you go to court, that's a given

In the early 80's when I was writing tickets in SoCal a basic speeding ticket was $83 bucks. If you were cited for 20 over it was twenty bucks more. 30 over, 30 bucks more. 40 over was mandatory court appearance.

If you fought the basic ticket and lost they tacked on 17 bucks court cost for an even $100

It's come a long way from there I see

... but they're doing it for public safety and not as a revenue stream ... :rolleyes:

[delayjf]

I actually live in CA.

And the court / Admin fees can turn a 100 dollar fine into a 500.00 fine total.

Where did you source this? Fines are not uniform. They vary by county. I looked up new traffic laws in California and could find no new requirement for a class on top of a fine.

I'm not suggesting that the fines you listed aren't ridiculous but where did you find a specific list? DMV doesn't carry one.

I found a site that had these prices, but even one of the respondents questioned the validity of the pricing since they couldn't find it either. Hmm. Maybe it's an Onion-like piece.

No, remedial classes are mandatory albeit the online courses are surprisingly
cheap, can be had for about $10.00. If you go to court good luck I was given a ticket for littering about ten years ago, the ticketing officer under oath changed her story so that it confirmed to a "violation that matched CA laws" despite the dash-cam video which completely exonerated me ( and was their "smoking gun evidence proving guilt beyond a doubt). Amazingly they introduced the video as evidence then when I questioned it we went to chambers to view the video which showed the officer to perjury herself... now the punch line.. the judge threw out the video as irrelevant and fined me anyway. Go figure.

Reduce your search parameters:

For example search a single law as :

- Cover car to block sun while driving: $178

They are what they are....
