    My Speeding Ticket is Dismissed, but Court Charges Fee
    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: CA

    It happens in San Mateo County. My speeding ticket is dismissed after I did the trail by written declaration. The San Mateo Court send out the letter states the case is dismissed and charges $105 fee. Anyone has the same experience?

    Thanks

    Get a scan or picture of the "letter", redact all personal identifying information, upload to a image hoisting website and provide link here for us to see said letter!

    It looks like your $234 bail is being returned in full. I wonder if what you think is "105" is actually the initials of someone like "IOJ" - perhaps the clerk or bailiff.

    definitely a J but it looks like the first two characters could be a 1 and a 0. Is there a section in the law numbered (or partially numbered) "10J" that might address the amount to be charged in a dismissal?

    No "10J" in any codes, but it might be a local court code for the dismissal.

    In any event, it appears clear that the full bail amount has been ordered refunded.

    Where do you see that they're charging you $105?

    Little step... One baby step at a time...

    On line (2) it shows: Bail Amount $234

    And that is presumably what you paid...

    And line 5.a. shows: 5. Clerk shall refund to defendant the following amount: a. Bail amount: $234

    And line 5.e. Shows: 5.e. TOTAL AMOUNT ORDERED REFUNDED (a minus d) $234



    I have to keep reminding (or is it lying to) my self that driving a car is not that complicated!

    The "fee" line after the dismissal has some writing on it that could look like $105 ... that's where the OP got that idea.

    Yes, I think it is 105 because there is a $ sign in front of those "numbers" or "words". I will go to court and ask the court clerk next week.

    Nice try Carl :D

    (I'm trying not to think too hard for fear I'd come up with something) but I cannot think of one reason why good math skills and driving a vehicle are even remotely related!
