First 'Major' ticket

A couple of weeks ago my son appeared in court on the date as required per the ticket. The traffic officer didn't show.. case was dismissed.

My dad went to court on time and the officer wasn't there so they moved the court date. They never told him when it was and slapped him with another fee for missing. CA sucks.
In 2011 they are practically killing diesels for no reason. Well a reason without good evidence.
