cell phone ticket

got a cell phone violation 3 weeks back, got the ticket in the mail and it was $161!!!!!! The base price for a first offense is $25, the rest are court, state, and county fees??!!!

This is so ridiculous. Such a ripoff. Total highway robbery.

Got one for $150 (i think) for using my phone in an alley. So lame. Anyway, took it to court since I had nothing to lose (doesn't affect driving record) and the cop never showed up. It was dismissed and awaiting my refund.

well....it's one thing to get a ticket. but it's another thing to get a ticket from an officer just doing his job stopping an idiot who was talking on the phone while driving in a bmw which most likely has bt. unless ur phone is that low tech then i'd be more than willing to understand.

its stupid to jump on the forums and vent on getting a ticket when u were on the wrong. i think a lot of us have already realized that uncle sam loves to rape our wallets.

Yeah I have no sympathy for that. I loved that law out there and wish they'd do it here. People talking on phones can't drive.

No sympathy for you. I cannot stand people on their phones driving, at least you were not texting which is even worse. I think they should raise these tickets to red light ticket amounts 3-500 dollars.

This is just as bad as a front plate ticket.
