What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA, I recieved a cell phone ticket & the fine is $ 142.00. It is my 1st ticket for use of cell phone, so like many others, if the fine is only supposedly $ 20, then how is it justified to charge an additonal $ 122. My question is should I go to court to try to get it reduced, knowing I'll miss work, thus lose $$$. It really seems unfair and most of us are simply going to pay the fine. There truly is no longer any justice! It's apparent to me that the law's intent is simply shake down drivers for missing $$$'s from the local County & City's budgets. Please advise.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
