How many illegals drive...??
And I bet 20% of these deadbeats have vanity plates.
poor and minorities hardest hit? does that mean that due to disparate impact, as Eric Holder might say, that the state has has to change criteria for suspending licenses??? Just wondering where they are going with this.
Send most of the aliens home.
Calif cops are revenue officers.
A tow is $550 and each night in impound is $70.
Retrieving an essential item like a wallet from an impounded car is impossible.
If you’re illegal often the car isn’t towed.
They’re just allocating funds to the liability insurance they know they need to have.
poor people the hardest hit!
lol
It’s the democrats plan to free them from jobs so they can’t pay their fines, then free them from driving so they don’t need their cars.
When they take the clothes off their backs, they’ll be totally free, the democrat way!!!
I got a couple of parking tickets alone in these few months. waste of time contesting it. It’s a simple concept to understand really. You can pay your insurance and gas for your car, but you can’t pay your ticket? If you have no dough for your car, take the bus.
What is the big deal?
They will always a few Islamic terrorists, criminal illegals,
and narcoterrorists — none of whom need licenses,
and are released after every felony — to drive them
around.
Can’t afford their driver’s license? How do they pay for the car, repairs, tires, gasoline, and insurance? How many of them own cellphones? Can they defer their next tattoo until after they pay for renewing their driver’s license? Inquiring minds want to know.
Just more of the never ending push for more socialism.
You cannot squeeze blood from a turnip. The fines in California are too damn high. They are really taxes. Minor first time infractions are over $400 or $500. The red light cameras (scameras) generate huge fines AND cause accidents. The economy in California sucks and there are a lot of good people (not everbody in California is bad) who simply do not have the money to pay the exorbitant fines.
Come to Nevada, it is a little better here.

By Robin Hood, do you mean Arnold the Awful? Answer: He’s busy banging his maid!
It doesn’t matter...frigging illegals don’t need a license to drive!
So, if you are an illegal alien, and you don’t pay your traffic tickets, does your driving license get suspended? Or are they EXEMPT from these rules, as they are from so many others ?
California has what are called Mandatory Minimum Fines. If you go to court to contest, the judge has no leeway to reduce or set aside a fine. If you did it, you are guilty, and therefore subject to the mandatory minimum. A red light or stop sign violation is 475.00. Counties add administrative fees and then if you do a payment plan, they charge additional fees. I have had this happen twice in 10 years, and my wife did once. She didn’t see a stop sign that had tree branches covering it. My sister-in-law had one going around a corner to turn into a gas station.
I had my picture taken rolling through an intersection, and it cost a total of 535.00, and I work. My income is about 3000 a month after taxes, so that is a good chunk of my money. Imagine not having a job, and 535.00 is a blow, not just a major inconvenience. Imagine being in Obama’s economy, working 2 jobs at minimum wage, and then getting a ticket. The poor actually are hardest hit.
The other time I had a CHP behind me as I was entering the intersection on a stale yellow light. The officer insisted that I ran the red, but I knew it was still yellow. The judge took the officer’s word over mine. Not every ticket is deserved.
I am all for people should be able to pay their fines and have their licenses straight. I don’t respect people who cast aspersions and make fun of any poor person who has their license suspended or revoked. Sometimes I really wonder why I hang around this place where some of the people are quite sickening.
I live in this State and the main problem is the $350.00 Sacramento assessment fees that they add on TOP of every violation. A $50.00 ticket now costs $400.00! And if you miss a payment, they add another $350.00! It’s a total scam! Not to mention if they impound your vehicle. Bybye sucker!
Let me guess: illegals get to drive free.
The rich Democrats in California are going to get you out of the state. No water for you! Big fines!
They want you off their beaches and highways. If they can’t enforce you out, they’ll force you out. Ever seen the movie Shane?
