> 
> The tickets will come in the mail, and while the bill doesn't say what 
> the they will cost you, I predict it will be $400 to $450.
> 
> Part of that sky-high cost will be caused by SB 57 (Alarcon), which will 
> add 40% to the base fine.  SB 57 is coming to a different committee, on 
> the same day.
> 
> And just as a side note for you car audio guys, I don't see why, in the 
> future, the speed camera vans couldn't be equipped to give tickets for 
> loud noise, too.
