Someone at the LATimes must have gotten a traffic ticket. They probably thought they were exempt from the rules for the proles.
Everything is 600+ regarding fines and with traffic school.
The politicians are immune from them. They do not pay so why should we get robbed.
Almost everything in California is too expensive and unconstitutional. That is what happens when you elect liberals and communists at all levels of government.
The law means nothing to them.

The fines already exceed the limits set by the legislature. They just call the extra stuff “fees”.
Really, the only way to ensure this is an 8th Amendment violation is take it thru the fed courts all the way to SCOTUS.
Wouldn’t another stupid question be “Why does a Bear poop in the Vatican”?
It’s not just the fine, it’s all the assessments too! Extra money for night court, for the Highway Patrol, for this and for that to the point that the end tab is double or triple the actual infraction fine. I guess the next thing is the slimes will suddenly realize that gas has gone up over a buck in about three weeks and write a story about that too!
Don’t know the average in the country but fines here in Florida are pretty steep, my wife just got her first ticket ever last week $406.00 fine plus points which the insurance company uses to raise rates for 3 to 5 years it could eventually come out to thousands of dollars, we are going to be fighting it, which I suspect will also be costly.
Red light cameras without end in California. My wife has been Orwelled 3 times in 15 years...
Do the illegals get public assistance to pay traffic fines?
What’s “driving” this issue is that now the illegals with licenses cannot pay the fines. The push is to expose the unfairness of the fines on the poor illegals and to begin a reassessment/reduction based on that.
I miss the $10 on the spot fine.
I just got done paying a 234 dollar speeding ticket in California. I was guilty and deserved it. what got me was that they charged me 5 dollars to pay on line and if I wanted to do traffic school there was an additional 65 dollar charge for the privilege of going to traffic school. if I go to a web site to take a internet traffic school course itb is an additional 20 dollars for the course. all of this for going 82 miles per hour in a 65 mp hour zone. I ended up not doing the traffic school because I could barley afford paying the ticket. all I have is liability son my car so I don’t see my insurance going up to much for the infraction. If the court was reasonable on the administration fee for traffic school I would of don it.
Anything California is basically unconstitutional in the scheme of things.
