The fee is allowed by law, see below.
VC 40611. (a) Upon proof of correction of an alleged violation of
Section 12500 or 12951, or any violation cited pursuant to Section
40610, or upon submission of evidence of financial responsibility
pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 16028, the clerk shall collect
a ten dollar ($10) transaction fee for each case. The fee shall be
deposited by the clerk in accordance with Section 68084 of the
Government Code, and allocated monthly as follows:
(1) Thirty-three percent shall be transferred to the local
governmental entity in whose jurisdiction the citation was issued for
deposit in the general fund of the entity.
(2) Thirty-four percent shall be transferred to the State Treasury
for deposit in the State Penalty Fund established by Section 1464 of
the Penal Code.
(3) Thirty-three percent shall be deposited in the county general
fund.
(b) No fee shall be imposed pursuant to this section if the
violation notice is processed only by the issuing agency and no
record of the action is transmitted to the court.
CHP processes some of its own "fix-it" tickets requiring no fee if completed by their given date. I'm unaware of any other police agency keeping a file on its own issued-fix-it tickets.

The fix-it I got from CHP a few years ago was free. They just signed off on it and I was done.

care to elaborate?
usually get fix-it tickets if you've managed to piss the cop/chipper off.....or are truly sporting some dangerous shit. (even tho an ex is sporting a machette down the side of his old skool gixxer the past 4 years and it hasn't been seen....)
i've only received one, and it was in my RX7 Turbo. no speeding, no talking on the phone, just rolling from san jose to work on labor day. "no front plate". i had it with me, just nowhere to mount it w/o drilling into my front bumper.
so i double stick taped it to the front, went to the chippers and they signed it- didn't even stop their conversation, didn't take my money.
the chippers also never filed a proper report when i got rear-ended hit and run style and now it's an insurance nightmare.
now seeing how i have missing LEGAL/added non-OEM replacement parts on all my bikes and never got pulled over for a fix-it in 14 years (had one added for an amber lite when caught speeding), there must be a higher power at play. the cops have/had all this to pick from: no license plate lites, LOUD pipes, slicks, 2 year old tabs (daily driver, too....the epitome of laziness!), undertail chop kit with integrated blinkers, amber lights, blue lights, no gauges, no blinkers and now my truck has no driver's side mirror! the list goes on but i'm not awake yet......
maybe :boobies really DO make the difference; that or your personality. i had a judge throw out 4 of 5 charges (3 of which would be felonious these days) fine me $90 and give me traffic school. (and the sheriff even showed after 2 postponements to argue with the judge). talked my way out of my blue tabs recently, too. but the one bike that seems to get picked on the most? the old as dirt gsxr. i blame it on the red paint

As long as the 40610 box is checked, it’s a$10.00 admin fee, to cover the cost of processing the citation. If 40610 box is checked “NO”, it’s about $120.00. The no box relates to it being a hazardous violation, and although it’s not a point on your record, they charge the larger fine amount.
Well, if everyone must know, it was for low tread on a tire.
I believe the point I want to make is why is a fee necessary to pay if the infraction was taken care of, its called a "fix it ticket" the problem was fixed, now why should I have to pay?
Disclaimer: Please don't read into the post and think I'm trying to make a stink about the issue, in the past I have gotten fix tix and expediently handled them without batting an eye, I'm just bewildered as to the reason that the process must go further once the citation was responsibly remedied.

willbeezy said:hazardous, hahaha my windows were not hazardous
You know me, I don’t think tinted windows are a hazard, but hey, what’s that saying…..
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. If they see it as a hazard, it’s hard to convince them otherwise.
I’m not sure home some of these cops go to work everyday. If they think tinted windows are hazardous, what the hell are they going to do when the shit really hits the fan?

I recall somewhere you said your ticket was in San Mateo County. If so, then:minhtin said:
