Two quick questions:
I'm an Arizona resident who is in the process of moving to San Diego CA.
I just got a traffic ticket in California and fought it with "trial by mail." I lost.
But they are giving me the option of traffic school.
1. The thing is, I've found some super cheap traffic schools online. I mean CHEAP! $12-$16 cheap. Are these legit? In AZ I'm used to paying $80-$120 for traffic school. at $12-$16 for traffic school, it seems like a no brainier.
2. When fighting a traffic ticket by mail in California, can the "referee" see your past charges and cases even if they are dropped? I ask because for once in my life I am legitimately not guilty. However this is my third traffic ticket in California in the last 2 years. I fought the others by mail and WON. If they can see that I had two charges that were dropped, perhaps now they figure they won't side with me a third time. ???
Of course the other option is that the state is so broke that they just want to keep my money, get me to go to school, hope I forget about it, and they think everyone wins (no record for me, $490 for them).
