Are there any legal gurus who can shed some light on my situation?
I got a fix it ticket for a burned out headlight. Had it fixed the very next day when I went in for an oil change. Was busy, then forgot to drive the 2 hours to get it checked off. Today I got a letter from LAPD saying I owe 899$. They claim I can knock 300 off the top if I don't take it to trial. If I go to trial I have to pay the whole amount, and then schedule a hearing.
Can they seriously charge 899 for a headlight out? Any suggestions or experience in this matter?
Thank you in advance.
