what is the fine for a first time cell phone offense in ca?
$94 for the first offense. Don't know how much it goes up for subsequent tickets. The first offense is $20 & subsequent violations are $50, HOWEVER, the thing they don't tell you is there are fees added to these amounts. My first violation came as a bill for $142. Pretty absurd if you ask me. Yeah it's ridiculous-- they tell you it'll be a $20 fine, but like it's stated above, the ticket comes out to $142. I called the court to ask how the fees were so much and the woman was so rude and hung up on me!
How much does a ticket cost in CA for talking on the cell phone? The issueing officer told me it would be about $20, but when the bill came home it was   a whopping $132.
