The new fines schedule may very well be a hoax.

But the cell phone law is (as I stated to be) confirmed by the CHP.

Those fines are probably accurate. When you go to court in Cali the fine is the lowest you pay. There are a number of additional court fees and county surcharges added to this, which the judge has NO discretion on. A $380 ticket will probably cost at least a grand.
