Got a speeding ticket! What do i do!?

In California you pay for the right to go to traffic school. During the arraignment they will say that if you plead "not guilty" then you will be denied traffic school if you're found guilty in court; HOWEVER, even though it's up to the judge's discretion on whether or not to allow you traffic school the court system has incentive to give you traffic school because you pay the court extra for it (on top of the traffic school fee). California's on hard times right now and needs extortion, I mean ticket, fees in order to balance its checkbook.

As it stands cops are still paid for going to court and it will depend on whether he would rather do paper work or continue patrolling the highways. I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say he'd rather keep cruising in his charger.

Honestly if everyone who GOT a ticket would just take some time to fight it then the country's extortion scheme would be financially unfeasible. I blame sheep who automatically plead guilty for the concession prize of a "lowered fine" for allowing the courts to continue to lower speed limits and use that as an excuse to nickle and dime us.
