My friend got a ticket today out in New Tampa where she lives and her tickets were

Expired Registration/Tags
Expired Insurance

The problem here is, other than the officer being an ass, she has insurance but didn't have the newer insurance card with her and she handed him the old one. The officer gave her a hefty fine that I could not veryify online and I am wondering if this is legal or if they are able to do something like this? He fined her $320 for each infraction, a nice total of $640. On Hillsborough County Clerk of Courts website it shows that those tickets are $76.50 each. Like I said, can these fines be altered? I don't think so and what can be done about something like this? If it was me, I would take it to court but its not really necessary unless you want to go after the officer about the fines cause these tickets just get dropped if you know what your doing. I told her to just take the proof of current insurance to the Clerk and they will toss the one ticket and go get registration and fight the other one if needed.

Traffic Department Fees and Fines

 

all i can say is call lawyer Ty Trainer 813 229 1912 he's good and takes care of all my shit, give him a call and see what he can do

 

I usually use Law offices of James A. Thomas P.A. Tampa, Florida but its not really necessary. I will call and raise the question about the cost of the ticket and legality of it all.

 

what are the exact titles of each infraction?

 

I am gonna delete this thread because she gave me the wrong info because she was freaking out and didn't realize that $320 was not the fine but the # for the statue. Thanks for the responses!

 

exactly what I was gonna tell you.. just wanted to make sure first.

 

Yeah, she is a real smart one, haha. I will give it to her that she is hot but thats no excuse, well, maybe. I see why you wanted to know the #s and they are listed on the Clerk site but I was too tired to realize that. Damn tickets were only a warning.

 

and fyi there is no sense in trying to "fight" an expired registration ticket. either it's expired or it's not... it's real simple.

 

they aren't even tickets? just written warnings? wowwwww

 

Yeah, isnt that great. She called me all freakin out too, haha.

I rep'd you...thanks!
