\"Chatsworth<\/a>Chatsworth trafffic court<\/a> used to be the model for how a Los Angeles County traffic court<\/a> should operate. \u00a0For years I have sung the praises of Chatsworth traffic court. \u00a0Free parking, efficient and professional clerk’s, heck even the bathrooms are nice. \u00a0But oh the times they are changing. \u00a0\u00a0With the recent closure of many traffic courts in the Los Angeles traffic ticket empire, the rules have changed for the worse in Chatsworth traffic court. \u00a0I am sitting in the clerks office writing this blog as we speak, so allow me to explain where things have gone very, very wrong.<\/p>\n

Chatsworth Traffic Court is Going Downhill<\/h2>\n

The first sign of trouble greeted me at the parking lot to Chatsworth traffic court . \u00a02 employees staffing the gate! \u00a0 Goodbye free parking, hello 5 bucks to park with no ins and outs and cash only! \u00a0What time does the band start? \u00a0Traffic Courts are supposed to serve the public not tax them just for showing up. \u00a0Plus paid parking at the court always leads to people parking in the surrounding residential neighborhood in an effort to save the 5 bucks. \u00a0This creates trash and parking problems for the residents nearby and now the courthouse in Chatsworth has gone from a source of civic pride to a problem for residents overnight.<\/p>\n

After paying my 5 bucks, I walked in to the clerks office to find out that the attorney window is gone. \u00a0 GC services? Out to lunch till 130. \u00a0Regular traffic clerk window? MEGA line of angry people for two open windows. \u00a0Did I make a wrong turn and end up at Metro court? \u00a0Am I still in Van Nuys? \u00a0After seeing the mess, I figured, well I made the drive, paid the 5 to park, I might as well wait in the line and then see the judge to take care of this today. \u00a0That’s when I see the sign NO MORE WALKINS!<\/p>\n

The signs posted all over the Chatsworth traffic court now say this<\/p>\n
