California Highway Patrol

Thanks highway patrol. The officer is nice and provides great infant car seat inspection service. It’s very detailed and helpful. Also, it is free. Just call them ahead and make an appointment.

Had a «fixit» ticket where the front tints would need to be removed. Removed the tint and went to this location to have the ticket signed off. The officer was pretty direct and serious and had that attitude of a «zero fcks given» person. Anyway he assisted us and went outside and looked at the car. The car was stock and is a 2013 VW Jetta so I’m assuming he didn’t even bother to look around the car and point at things that need to be corrected. I think if your car is modded then you might have a problem of him citing you for it. Anyway we were there for less than a few minutes and were on our way to mail the ticket in the mail.
Btw, as per what it stated in the letter of where the ticket came from, some stations may require a fee to get it signed off but this CHP station doesn’t have any fees.

Long story short, I didn’t call CHP when a guy rear ended me on the freeway and I just found out he does not have insurance. I came to fill out the collision report and am super thankful that Officer Jimenez (ID #19 045) was very helpful and patient with me. He also had a great sense of humor which was nice considering how annoyed I am over this situation. If you read this, Officer Jimenez, THANK YOU !

Really smooth and nice service! As long as you make an appointment you should be fine. Officer Peacock helped me and was very helpful/​friendly. I had a vehicle inspection and it took about an hour and a half but I didn’t mind.

Had a similar issue as Raymond S., VIN verification on a vintage Vespa with a lost title, and had a similar experience. Evidently Officer Butler handles issues like this. He was on time for the appointment, professional and helpful. I can’t speak for other issues this CHP office handles but all went smoothly for me.

This is for those CIVIL CODE VIOLATIONS of the 5200’s and on…
If you got a ticket for plate or license related issues, you should know that if you correct it, you only pay $ 10 (as stated in the back of the ticket) instead of $ 79 or more if you’re from the future.
Say, you got the ticket from the LAPD, SGPD, or any police department from your city. The precinct will charge a fee (they differ) around $ 19 to check that you actually corrected the violation on your car, before they sign it off. So $ 19 + $ 10.
The CHP will sign the ticket off for NO FEE, and it is fast. Once they sign it off and stamp it in the back, you can mail your ticket with a $ 10 check. They can be rude, they can be nice, it doesn’t matter, they get stuff done and look good at it too.
Now, I didn’t want to go to the PD because I don’t like the way they do things in my city. I don’t agree with their hidden or unclear laws. I much rather help the city in a different way, not through fees that make no sense.

If there were a choice of zero stars, they would have earned it. There appears to be a renegade officer patrolling Glendora Ridge Route who is endangering the lives of cyclists. See this video of an interaction with a cyclist yesterday (⁷⁄₁₁) on GMR. Clearly the officer is uneducated and/​or does NOT care. So much for protection and serving.

I gave 1 star because I couldn’t give it a negative star. I have received 3 speeding tickets so far on Westbound 60 FWY in El Monte Area near Rosemead Blvd. I was totally picked at a random to receive those tickets. All 3 times, I was going at the rate of the flowing traffic,. But none of my explanation was said in vain, because the Judges always takes the side of the police. Now we are finding out they make far more mistakes than we all have realized. This time was the worst. I was on 60 FWY, going west bound, when my mother and I got a phone call from the hospital about my aunt may have broken her back and may become paralyzed. My mother became hysterical and started going crazy. I was going at the flow of traffic in the fast lane, when I came up on a slow moving car. When i got close to his tail, I sped up couple of MPH to switch lanes, when a CHP officer turned on his lights. I told him about my situation but I just wanted to get the ticket asap so that I can go to the hospital. He cane back and gave me a warning about getting too close to the car in front of me and told me although I was going at 85 mph, he was going to give me a ticket for 81, I don’t have time to do the whole traffic school deal and was glad I didn’t have to pay for the extra 4 mph. But when I took a good look at the ticket, he wrote 85 MPH. What is the reason for lying to me? And i can’t read his ticket scratches of a writing and his name. I can barely read his badge number. First of all, I was going at a flow of the traffic, which California Law tells me to do, then he acted like he was doing me a favor by saying he’s giving me a warning, than he lies about the MPH. I am the legal Guardian if my Aunt is incapacitated. I have the papers to prove it. I have a Durable Power of Attorney to prove it. There were extenuating circumstances in this incident, if you can call it an incident., because I didn’t break any laws and to put salt in the wound, he lied to me about the MPH. He told me he didn’t clock me or speed lased me. So, which mean he just clocked me as I was switching lanes and not counting for the flow of the traffic. his Id number is 20 360. I am tired of getting railroaded on that stretch of the road. I get this is where they make their money. You bet your ass I will fight this to the end. I am going to do my best to research his record and make an official complaint so that it stays o his record. I will make a complaint to the judge about how they always take the side of the police. We all know now that they are full of crap. My mother was in the car and she never even had a parking ticket in her 82 years of life. Who would you believe? The police that’s been on the news to do what ever they want, or an honest citizen who never even had a parking ticket? When are we going to erupt again because of wrong doing of the police dept. I can go on and on about how they are taking advantage of the poor but I digress. If you agree with me, please start complaining. We need this on record.

Terrible. Called in to report a shady credit card scam call and the person answering the phone told me in a patronizing way there was nothing to be done, asked me why I’d given them information (which I hadn’t). When I told her I did a callback on the number which appeared to be a private line she just said «It happens all the time.» NO HELP or even a semblance of service. Maybe it was her lunch hour (?)

staff and officers know people have other chores/​work to attend to so they are willing to help you and make it quick as long as you are proper with them.

I made an appointment for a VIN Verification in an effort to get a vintage motorcycle registered (title and all paperwork long since lost). The verification was performed by Officer Butler who was right on time for the appointment. Officer Butler was professional and no-​nonsense, but pretty cool. Your experience should be fine as long as you do not try to BS him.

You can call to make an appt and they can show you how to properly install a baby car seat. I came in for that and officer Moniz was so nice ! I love him thank you so much for showin me how to install my car seat for my little baby boy coming soon :)

It was quick and painless, good experience !

So glad to be in and outta there in 5 mins. I came in to get my expired tag citation stamped off, and an officer approached me immediately and checked out my car, stamped my ticket and advised me on my next step (pay administration fee at the court). Thanks guy!

Excellent service. Was worried about the reviews I saw but came because it was crunch time. Average male, white. Didn’t get a name helped me out. Checked out the window and stamped. I was in and out in 2 minutes. No exaggeration. Saved so much time going to court now to pay it.

Parking is fine– there’s a lot. But the service! Try as I may, not one smile could be elicited on the worker’s face.
Maybe it was just a bad day.
2 stars because there are some kind-​hearted CHP officers out there on the freeways. :)

I went for a fix it ticket. Just know that law enforcement at this location (and anywhere else) does not care for customer service.
No greeting, no salutations, no anything. Just cold, rude, attitude service.
Pros: the cop stamped and signed my ticket with no further issues. No charge. I waited about 10 mins and it was on a Wednesday at 1pm.
Cons: the cop is rude and seems to hate his life. I dont blame him, if my profession was to fine citizens for being citizens I would hate my life too.
Full Disclosure: I dislike ALL cops. Reason: Cops are corrupt and abuse their power. So if you are a cop and you don’t arrest them, then you are also corrupt or too stupid to notice, either way ALL cops suck.

FIX-​iT TICKET PROCESS: (aka. «fix-​it» tickets, like tint, front plates, no tags, etc.) to get it signed off.
If you show up here with your corrected violation to get it signed off, the officer will inspect your car for MORE violations NOT initially on the citation. He will give you two options:
1. Get your ticket signed off, but he will give you a NEW citation for whatever other violation you have (maybe that the other officer missed when he first pulled you over).
2. Not get signed off: if you refuse to get the new citation for whatever violation you have other than the ticket you’re presenting.
Listen, I’m here for «x» citation to get signed off, I took time to get it corrected, like a law abiding citizen. I didn’t come in here for you to make it rain on me and give me an extra citation just because you want to be a jerk. If you want to cite me for something NOT on my original ticket please jump in your squad car and pull me over. At least make an effort.
Just giving everyone a heads up.
On a brighter note… *cue the Larry from Sit ‘n Sleep voice*
the «sign-​off is FREEEEEE!»
If you go to the Sheriffs in City of Industry on Stafford and Hudson they charge $ 17. Bye! :D

Unilocal REALLY needs to come up with a ‘0’ or negative star rating… because that’s what some of these guys deserve, due to their lack of professionalism, their ineptitude, and of course, their negative personalities in dealing with those they’re supposed to be «protecting and serving».
I recently moved from one address in Azusa to another (literally a block and a half away). Knowing I had to change my address with the DMV within ten days of the move, I did so three days after getting into the new place, online. The DMV is supposed to mail out a change of address card, which they never did, even though they have the new address on record (as noted below).
A week later, nine days after filling out the DMV change of address, I’m followed from outside of Pasadena to right by the merger of the 605 and the 210 by a lovely (I mean the term sarcastically) CHP officer. I wasn’t speeding, mind you, I was actually going slightly under the speed limit in the slow lane, because traffic was pretty heavy. Several times the officer pulled alongside me, then would get slightly ahead, then fall back behind me. I was extremely intimidated by him doing this.
Finally he pulls me over– what for, I’m (still) sort of wondering why. I pull over. I get safely into the shoulder, and right as a horde of cars comes by, he goes over the loudspeaker in his car. Apparently he thought I was too close to the guardrail. He finally repeats it, and I move forward several yards, and am literally as close to the left edge of the shoulder as I can get without getting hit myself.
As the officer gets to the window, he starts literally YELLING at me, «Didn’t you hear me over the loudspeaker, I told you to move over to the left, it’s so totally unsafe for me.» Um, he’s on the passenger side– and would have had plenty of room to conduct his (witch hunt) activities. So I rather sarcastically say, «Wouldn’t it be more unsafe if I was half off the shoulder, for both of us?» He acts indignant for a moment, and after about half a minute of him huffing, finally asks for my license and registration. As he asks if that’s the correct address, I tell him that I had filled out the change of address online, but had not yet received the change of address card from the DMV. I didn’t give him my new address, but after running my license through the computer, I see him writing a ticket. He comes back, with it in hand, and it has my new address on it, because of course, the DMV has it. And what’s the ticket actually for? FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE DMV WITH CHANGE OF ADDRESS. Which I had done. There’s also a court date listed, and I innocently ask, «so do I have to go to court?» The CHiP officer gets huffy, indignant, and rudely says, «You want to take ME to court?» I say, «I was just asking!» He then calms down, and says it’s a fix it ticket, that I can take it to any CHP office, and get it taken care of. I sign it, wanting to get out of his presence as quickly as possible before I really did something to aggravate an already testy and obnoxious trooper. I was shaking pretty badly at this point.
At the time of the ticket, the court date was listed as 7/​31, in Alhambra. On June 1, I got a notice from CHP that it (the court date) has been changed to Pasadena. And here’s the kicker– my last name is spelled wrong, rather like Patrick’s accident driver at fault being identified as a man and not a woman. C’mon, guys, get with it. Spell people’s names right, get their gender correct, put their correct birthdates. It isn’t rocket science.
All I can say is… wow. You issued a ticket for an offense that wasn’t committed– it can’t be both ways. Either a) I didn’t fill out a form for a change of address with the DMV, and the address on my license would match the one in the DMV computer, or b) I did fill it out, and the address on the ticket would be the new address, even though the DMV hadn’t mailed out the COA card, they obviously had it, and hence, because I did fill the form out online, no «failure to provide the DMV with change of address.» It can’t be both ways, yet it was to this officer.
Mind you, I’ll pay the fix it ticket fee– $ 35– with reservations. I’ll then go to court on the 31^st, and point out the discrepancies… and hopefully the officer gets an earful from someone because of it.
BTW, when I got home I checked the DMV’s online database to see if they had record of my address change. Guess what– they did. So thanks, Trooper R. Nilsen– you really did good by me for issuing a ticket for an infraction not even committed. Sarcasm implied.

I went here asking for information for a ride-​a-​long; thought it would be interesting. They told me that they only offer them to those currently going into the academy. They said it had something to do with some problems they had in the past with people or something. They were nice.
