I 'm from out of state and received a citation for a minor incident due to a slight misunderstanding of a sign. Because i didn't have the time to return to contest it, I sent payment with a letter of appeal to the judge.I did not have the courtesy of a reply but saw the check promptly cashed. Subsequently I kept receiving letters from an attorney demanding payment, and even threatening cancellation of my drivers license even though I sent them proof of payment. I wrote to them to clarify and still didn't receive the courtesy of a reply. I tried calling their office and timed out after being placed on hold for an extended length of time. This looks like typical government people taking advantage of decent law abiding citizens. I now find myself having to spend a lot of time to defend my innocence. Evidently these people do not understand their role in "serving" the public. I wish someone would investigate this type of inefficiency and undue inconvenience to senior citizens.
