what's the fine in CA for rolling through a stop sign at 5mph? does it matter if it's a school zone?

Answer 1

In some cities, fines can range up to $180 or more for red light violations, in addition to any state charges. In Ca., violations in construction zones cause fines to be doubled. I honestly don't know if being in a school zone results in the same additional penalty, but it seems to me it would follow.

Bottom line? Don't get citations.

Answer 2

If you weren't going to the school you might have a chance, but knowing that there should be children present makes your chances of video proof pretty unlikely - especially since you would have only evidence from one other day and the judge accepting statistical (10 days) seems small even if you happened to have the time to collect it. A picture of the sign might prove something because I don't think it is a proper statement of the law. It should say something like "25 mph from 7:30 to 9:00 am, 3:00 to 4:00 pm when children are present." Oklahoma enforces school speed limits all day on any designated school day and you better know those from elsewhere, not just because children are present. If Calif. has the sloppy law, then lack of children present or the police swearing that children were present becomes a factor. If you have a preliminary hearing thing, make sure everyone who should be there is and if they aren't, ask the case be dismissed. I once paid a fine and learned later that the failure of the complaining official to be there with pictures, so I could see what I was up against, was enough to throw the case out (not traffic in this case.)
