If someone is upset about my perceived waste of Tax Money one of the Governors allowed an amnesty which amounted to a large loss of revenue. It pays to be delinquent on you citation/fines.
Notice it makes it sound like you won a lottery: "Effective: October 1, 2015 through April 3, 2017
The Traffic Ticket/Infraction Amnesty Program (amnesty program) was
designed to provide tens of thousands of people who received qualifying tickets in California with relief from the escalating costs of fines, fees, penalties, and assessments that have come from those tickets (traffic and non-traffic) remaining unpaid. While specifically targeting the payment of delinquent fines associated with infractions,
some jurisdictions expanded the program to provide relief from the high costs of delinquent fines from misdemeanor convictions, as well."
