Ugh. Not this again. It's a hoax.

How do you know?

Hold on, I'm going to call the police right now in California...

Give me a second....


Called the police and you can call them yourself...

This is the non emergency line. 1-619-531-2000

After speaking with them they didn't know so they gave me another number which is for the traffic division.

The traffic division of the police dept number is 1-858-495-7800.The lady officer checked and it IS TRUE!



Don't believe me? Call the line and when the cops come on, ask them yourself.....


bikerboy ain't no hoax.....

I don't care what they say.

Dude, CALL THE POLICE.


I think they would know as they are ones writing the tickets......

as for the site, I see your reasoning but dude, its not a hoax like they tried to assume and portray in those links. You have to realize the Government is allowed to change prices of things such as tickets without getting your permission, or notice. The old saying goes " Ignorance is no excuse for the law". This means, 98% of the people out there are not going to know the law. I see your point, and things are changed all the time.

All I ask is call the Traffic division of the police depts with the numbers I provided and she will tell you ( you can hear her typing) "sir I am looking up a few of the things you have stated and we actually did go up in price."


Its nothing new. I remember I got a ticket one time and the cop wrote in with a pen the new price and scratched the old out.

Call them and let them tell you that it did go up. I spoke to some folks back home and they said the ticket thing going up has been all over the news.

So I am not sure what the "hoax" deal is talking about.

The other is not set it stone and is subject to change and be adjusted due to the needs of the economy and California is a state very much so in debt....



You see what I am saying my freind?
