California Traffic Ticket Problem

[hongkongfever]

I got a ticket for talking on my cellphone + tinted front windows on Sept. 9th. As of today, I haven't received a courtesy notice allowing me to pay my bail through the mail like I did with tickets in the past. I also went online to the court system's website and they can't seem to find the ticket by citation # or drivers license. The automated phone system can't find my ticket either. So I went to my local police station and they were able to pull up the ticket but obviously they don't deal with payments or what not.

I've been trying to get a live person on the phone from the local court but so far it has been impossible. It looks like I may have to go in person to the court to see what is going on but I really dread the lines knowing how bad it's going to be with the furloughs and all.

So does anyone have any idea what's the deal? Am I not able to pay my ticket because it requires a mandatory court appearance? Seems kind of silly for a cellphone violation and tinted windows.

Get on your fire suit before you get flamed for talking while driving...😉

Did the cop hate you? Usually its a fix it ticket for the windows and just a cellphone ticket.

I never received a notice in the mail with I got a speeding ticket back in like July. When I went to the court house to pay, the lady told me that you arent guaranteed to get one.

What county were you in? Is the address on your license and registration correct?
