Question

In CA traffic court trials, if the defendent loses at trial after the cop shows up, can a judge INCREASE your fine above the pretrial cost to you (if you had just paid the ticket without a trial?) My ticket is just a registration matter with no points, so I am inclined to fight it just in principle. Right now it is only $25 ($194 after pen assess.), the standard rate for my infraction.



Answer

Yes
