My only gripe with fines in Cali is the damn administrative fee they tack on top of each ticket fine. It's nothing more than a tax on top of the taxes we already pay. I went to traffic court yesterday for a toll road violation, was in a service loaner had my transponder and it was not working and apparently had not worked for a long azz time accoridng to the toll roads, just hitting my account as a pay by plate. I take my account history and the letter from the toll roads to court, the referee reduces the fine from $225 to $5 dollars but charges $109 admin fee for the privlege of being there, in a public building, with public employees which are all paid for by my tax dollars. That's just fawking wrong. You can get most tickets reduced in court in Cali, not excessive speed etc. those have higher minimums but when you look at the damn chart in court and it says a $30 ticket costs $172 to pay that's the new new math to me.
