How do they deal with car accidents there? If the cop writes down the wrong tag number of a person causing a fatality, does an innocent person get arrested for manslaughter? Are they nuts?

Actually, probably yes.

I had a "parking ticket" in LA for a car I could prove was in Marin County at 8:30 in the morning and in Sonoma County at 4 pm on that same day. The description of the vehicle on the ticket also did not match my car.

When the LA jurisdiction was challenged, after a couple of months I was told that "there was nothing irregular found about the citation" and I would have to pay. When the bureaucracy is both uncompromising and stupid, such things are inevitable.

I never paid.

Awful - so Kafkaesque. Sorry it happened - what a strange world.
