I've contested the notion of paying my ticket first on several occasions. All of which ending in - pay and see a judge OR don't pay and be delinquent.
So in this case, sir, you are wrong. As far as LA county is concerned anyway, it might be different up north.

This MUST be a Orange county thing then (which is
fucked up) but i have gotten tickets by CHP and they also give you a court date. One is from CHP and the other is city both dont impose a fine.
