i got a ticket in march 2004. in california you can do a trial by written declaration where you send a check for the bail amount and then explain what happened. then they review your statement and a statement the police officer sends. anyways so i send it in and i wait like 2 months and i dont hear anything. i call the court to ask whats the status on it and they ask for my citation number and i give it to them. they said its still in progress and to wait a month or so. i wait and call again like 2 months later and its still in progress. i called last month in december again and they said the guy is on vacation or something and will be back in 2 weeks and it should be reviewed by then. today i just got a ****ing ticket in the mail for 441 dollars for failure to appear. what can i do!?! can i request a trial? i would hire a lawyer but it seems that it wouldnt be worth it??
