Multiple FTA's in Multiple Counties Due to Registration Tickets
My question involves a driver's license issued by the State of: CALIFORNIA
I was driving a beater car and got a light bulb out cite; a failure to register cite, twice. All of these were in three different counties and all are at the FTA and Collections disposition.
I don't have any money, I am basically homeless and the vehicle was impounded. Do I need to go to all three courts? Can I "refuse to pay" if the court will not show me mercy, than serve time? If I turn myself in at one county, will they transport me to the other two? Kern (Grapevine), Tehama (Redding) and Los Angeles County (San Fernando). I know I owe society and I am willing to do the time, I just do not have 3K to get out of this self inflicted agony!

You canNOT serve time in lieu of paying fines for infractions. You may be able to request community service (although there maybe some fees associated with that) but I can't guarantee that any of the courts you listed will entertain such a request.
