What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CALIFORNIA
My wife was in 2 auto accidents on the same day one in the morning and one in the afternoon. She was ticketed twice for "no proof of insurance" one for the morn accident & one for the afternoon accident. We had insurance on said vehicle. She was not able to show proof at the time, we were still waiting for ins cards in the mail. The citations had the same apperancetime & date. We appeared at traffic window as we were told to do. She paid both fix it tickets for $25.00 a piece & proof of insurance, in which she did. She was given a reciept for both citations as they were both marked "paid in full" A month or so later she received a bill from the courts, for a huge amount of money along with a transcript of the proceedings she "missed".
The transcript lists the same police officer as the officer on scene, in which he wasn't There were 2 different accidents and two different officers!
She paid both fix it tickets a month or so earlier SO WHY HAS THE JUDGE STATED THAT SHE HAS TO PAY THE FULL FINE & THE SAME OFFICERS WERE ON SCENE AS WITNESSES? THIS IS NOWHERE NEAR THE TRUTH!!!!
We found out the judge retired directly after this incident and we CANNOT GET A COURT DATE to try to rectify this. WHY?????
WE feel this is a terribly unjustified action by our local courts. What can we do to get this thing fixed? Thank you.
