Missing license plate, unbuckled, driving while license suspended, skipping court dates ... and I’m supposed to feel sorry for this guy? Fail.
How else are they going to pay for the illegal Mexicans benefits?
It’s California. What can one say?
It’’s just part of the cost of living in the exotic liberal utopia.
Got cited for no seatbelt in Calif just last year and it was $125, wow.
should’ve taken the bullet train.
Another example of government being the enemy of the people.
I was in court in Santa Cruz last year for a traffic violation.
First guy is called, judge asks what the ticket was for, the guy (via interpreter) answers, “Driving with no license”
Judge immediately addresses the whole courtroom via interpreter, “Show of hands of how many are here ONLY for that particular same infraction...?”
A sea of hands go up AND THE JUDGE SUMMARILY BULK EXCUSES **ALL** OF THEM....!!!
“These people are here for no other reason than THE WAY the law was written....”
And —presto!— they lined up to square away their paperwork, and were gone.
Know what? In many cases they do NOT have to obey the laws of California.
We have a rich coast and a dirt poor interior, and there are TWO classes of people; honkies mired in laws and regulation and Mexicans who live in this eery extension of Mexico.
Sounds like California is going the way of the Debtor’s Prisons, as in Dicken’s Oliver Twist and David Copperfield.
For those of you who have never lived in CA, it can be frightfully expensive to live there.
NOT paying bills then refusing to be evicted is a way of life for some in LA.
Governments which spend on generous benefits to those do not work end up in the same situation. Confiscation of money from those who have some is the usual follow up.
California
Cyprus

coming soon to USA...
If you live in California I strongly recommend avoiding Fullerton. Motorcycle Cops just hanging around ready to pounce. A real racket.
Welcome to the left coast of the USSA!
The bastards stole my truck from me. Towed it out of a private parking lot.
This is a racket.
Prime example of INIQUITY. Deliberate, gross injustice.
I have SIX of them here in L.A. in 30 DAYS. Challenged 4, won and still trying to hear from the last 2.
You get the government you vote for.
Local and state pols out here see their job as picking pockets and making life difficult. For tax paying citizens, anyway.
I remember a sermon where the illustration was that if the penalty for speeding was death, how fast would you drive? Guess we might be getting close to that.
“...After driving without a seat belt and no front plate, he got a $25 traffic ticket ...”
******************************************************************************************************
Lesson learned (or should have been learned): If you do something stupid (or just with negligence) and get a ticket...PAY THE DAMN TICKET AND PAY IT ON TIME.
Veteran or no veteran, there’s nobody to blame but the person neglecting to pay the ticket.
I moved out of Kali-Fornia in 1994, and do not miss it one iota!
