$200 Ticket?!?! WTF?
I got a ticket a few weeks back, because the driver and front passenger windows had a limo tint. I'm going to remove the tint this week. I got my ticket in the mail today. Bail Amount: $194!
What the F***?!
I thought a window tint ticket cost like $25?
I got this ticket in Chatsworth, CA (At least that's where the court is at).
Wtf man, I don't have $200 for this! If I remove it and go to court early, will the fee be even less?

thats only if the officer wrote correctable. Happened with my bro and his front license plate. he got the ticket, it was like 150 or something, went to get it signed off, paid $25, they mailed the $25 check and the ticket back... U gotta go talk to the judge to get the ticket "correctable" and extension date. Then you will be able to get away with just a fix it ticket which cost $25

Interesting, all tickets like tint, front license plate, etc should have correctable violation checked off, since they all are correctable.I've never got a ticket or heard of anyone getting a ticket for this kinda stuff that wasn't correctable...i guess some cops wanna give you a hard time? lol

^I know! A few of my friends have been popped for what should be correctable/ fix its, but the officers who nailed them wrote non-correctable, which jacks up the amount horrendously. But it should be about $25 for fix its, at least I still hope it's that amount

I'm sorry if that's a real dumb question, this is the first time something like this has happened to me, and not really sure how to get something signed off.

If I go talk to the judge, will they give me a correctable violation, so I can just pay the $25 instead of the $194?

I spoke with one of my friends earlier. He said remove the tints, go to any CHP department, and ask an officer to write off the ticket. Than go to Court, show the write off, ask for a correctable ticket, and either extend my court date, or pay the $25 up front.
Personally, I'd rather pay the $25 up front. The court date is the day after my birthday, and I don't feel like going to court in the morning.

^ you shouldn't have a problem getting this as a correctable ticket. The same thing happened with me. I just let the person at the window know that my ticket was marked as non-correctable and paid the $25 fee.
