Several months ago I was ciited twice on two different occasions for tinted windows and front license plates. Since I got a extention on the tickets I totally forgot I had to have the citations corrected "fixed". Well now the court date is coming up and I don't have a car to fix I have sold the car and I pretty much never drilled through then bumper and removed the tints since it would hurt the resale value. Now what do I do? Do I I just take documentation to court and prove the car was sold, or what? Also the car is registered to my other half, should I just claim that I don't own the car and the owner sold it?

I don't know if it matters but one of the tickets was in Pasadena, and the other I have to go to downtown LA .

Anyone have this issue, or have some advice?

I'd think a bill of sale would be sufficient for a fix-it violation

my friend had an issue like this before. so what he did, he just went to the court, brought the prove about the sold car, and he just good to go. he did it in Alhambra. i dont know for other city.

Aslong as you have dmv papers for proof of sale and that you no longer own the vehicle, I'm sure the court will be able to assist you. Make sure you bring the papers with you though. Hope this helps.

however you may still need to pay the $25 in "court fees" for each fix it ticket

I'll give it a try and keep you guys posted. I've got about a week till.

Update:

I was in court today, and the judge dismissed the no license plate ticket because I showed proof the car was sold.

Court fee was about 25 bucks.

I had an extension on my ticket, and I had to appear in court. So I ended up paying court fees. No money is always better but Im fine with paying the 25 bucks compared to the 140 for the violation.

I had an issue like this on my e46, I even showed the proof of sale and the judge instead of fix it ticket cost made me pay the entire fine...

That blows. Fk I would be pissed. But the sad thing is we really don't have a choice to pay or not. We are slaves for them, they could penalize us for anything, and they know they can because 50% of the people just payed the penalty just so they wont have to come back to court.

On the side note, I was blown away by the number of people with infractions that didn't pay the stupid 60 bucks and get traffic school. They had no idea that they were getting a point on their records.

Update: I had another court date today for tinted windows on the car I sold. Now pasadena had me only pay the court fees, but today in la court the stupid judge is having me come back to court. I have to pay 180 bucks now

[tricksterr24]

Same thing happened to me but I had a fine of 150 to pay for court fees and some other bs
