This is good news! People were being robbed..

California court leaders voted unanimously Monday to bar courts from charging drivers bail before they can challenge traffic tickets.

The emergency rule, adopted by the Judicial Council, takes effect immediately. Courts will have to change their notices to the public to say that no one will be required to pay upfront as a condition of a hearing on a ticket.

This was passed to aid illegal aliens, their a protected class here in Calif. because they vote for Democrats.
I know some nut will chime in that illegals can't vote, yeah right. Why do you think Democrats are so against voter ID?

Maybe its because "voter fraud" has been proven to be almost completely nonexistent?

You're calling 31 cases in 14 years "almost completely non-existent"?
Quote:
according to a new study by Loyola University law professor Justin Levitt, the in-person voter fraud that strict voter ID prevents is still nearly non-existent. Levitt's study, which "track[ed] any specific, credible allegation that someone may have pretended to be someone else at the polls, in any way that an ID law could fix" found just 31 instances of this potential voter fraud between 2000 and 2014. According to Levitt, "more than 1 billion ballots were cast in that period."
What does it take to wake you up?!

Okay, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. If you can name at least 10 illegal immigrants that have voted in California out of the 10s of millions of California voters that have cast votes, I'll admit we have a problem with illegals voting. Until than your argument can't hold water.

As for this being passed to help illegal immigrants (as you claim), where is your proof? To me it sounds like it was passed to help everyone fighting a ticket or infraction...

Of course, I wanted the traffic school option so my insurance wouldn't go up. It was like the whole system basically forced you to just pay the fine.

The clerk was helpful, though, in advising me on how to delay the inevitable as long as possible. First they give you an optional 30 day delay, which I took. Then, after the 30 day delay, I asked for a court date, which was another 2 months away. Anyway, before the court date, I was able to save up and just go ahead and pay the fine, and I canceled the court date since by then I was in Crescent City.

But, I did think that seemed really wrong to have to pay to get into court. This is a good law.

Can we not let the "poster" divert the thread anymore? You realize they win when you take the bait...

Why the hell did this go on as long as it has? You want to ask for a payment plan for your citation which is at least $500 due to local fees, but first you have to pay the entire fine- then ask the judge for a payment plan. What a BS Machiavellian stunt.
