What is the name of your state? California
I'm in a bind here with 10 tickets for having expired tags, all since 10/2005. Besides the lecture from you mom types out there as to why didn't I pay my registration in the first place, I'd rather have some advice as to how to proceed from this unpleasant position. At this point, the fines are worth nearly what the car is and I can't possibly afford to pay them (I have 3 kids and am a fulltime student). Is there any chance I can update the registration (and, yes, pay the fines on the other parking tickets like the expired meter, the street sweeping, etc. - which is why I couldn't afford to register it way back when...) and then find some kind of way to consolidate the 10 expired tag tickets into a more manageable fine? At this point, I owe over $1000 on the many tickets for the same thing basically. The trouble is, the courts in Alameda county don't hear "parking tickets" and these are considered parking tickets (even though it's a registration violation). Should I just find a lawyer and have them help me? or am I simply out of luck? any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
