Not sure if you are aware, but there is a handy dandy bail schedule available free online for LA county. Why is it so handy?
It is especially handy for traffic citations because it lists ALL vehicle codes and tells you whether it can be charged as a misdemeanor or an infraction (“wobblet”), how much the bail is for that citation, whether penalty and assessments will apply, and last but not least, it tells you which violations will add points to your traffic record.
I found it really handy when the officer actually shows up for traffic trial and I’m able to negotiate alternative vehicle codes that won’t give add points to my clients driving records or vehicle codes that have a lower bail rate.
