Hello,
My name is Dan, I'm a 46 year old white male who recently moved
from California to Florida.
When I attempted to obtain my Florida driver's license I was told there was
a problem with my Ca. license, and that would need to be fixed first.
After contacting The Sacramento DMV I was informed that I had a failure
to appear on file due to a left turn red light camera ticket in Emeryville, Ca.
The "said" unpaid ticket bail amount is $490.00 resulting in the suspension
of my California driver's license.
The unpaid ticket had gone into collections for an additional $300.00, if I
want to go to traffic school add another $54.00, and to get my Ca.
license reinstated that would be another $55.00.
A grand total of a whopping $899.00!
I believe these cameras to be an outrageous scam and think they should
be illegal.
I had not received notification of any of these events and was un aware
that I was driving with a suspended license from August 2011 until March
2012.
I am wondering how one would word a letter to California's Alameda
County Traffic Commissioner in an attempt to make all of this nonsense go
away and allow me to obtain my Florida driver's license.
I am aware of a trial by written deceleration, which requires the bail to be
sent up front.
I might add that I had received a similar citation a couple of years ago.
I sent a trial by written deceleration stating "I was not the operator of the
vehicle at the time of the infraction and please dismiss in the interest of
justice."
I received a form letter back stating "please include bail amount."
When I resent the letter with the bail amount, I received a form letter back
with a check in the box marked "GUILTY" and they cashed the money
order.
I am at the end of my wits,
Can someone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance,
