How can I find out if I have outstanding warrant in LA, CA?
The story is... I got "seatbelt" ticket, went trough court hearing (was late responding), paid fines and forgot it... till I had the same fine back in the mail!!! I went to courthouse with receipt and the clerk told me that it was a mistake, the ticket was filed with 2 different police agencies in the same time, and told me that he took care of it... I've lived in Germany for 5 years already and accidently figured it out (doing background check) that I still have this ticket (with "hold" status), it is in collection and amount owned is huge... I called the court, clerk found the ticket and asked me if I have a proof of payment and I told him why I didn't. He suggested to pay the fine. In a couple of weeks ticket dissapeared from collection agency's web site. I called them - they told me they have no record of it. I called court, told the same story to the different clerk and asked him if I have a warrant. After putting me on hold he told me that they have no ticket and warrant under my DL#.
Can I trust the clerk? It is very strange... Maybe I'll get a surprise renewing my passport when it'll be late?
