So I got fix-it's for no front plate and no proof of registration (but it is paid and all up to date). Those are easy to fix.

My question is about the 3rd citation which is CVC 27156 B. It states "not equipped with appropriate cap for type of fuel evaporative system installed." However her description next to the code (and what she meant to cite me for) says "modified exhaust and pollution control." I also got the Referee sticker on the back. There is no court date, just a date I have to have all offenses corrected by. So my question is about the descrepancy between the code and the description of what she was citing me for. Is there a way to get the whole ticket thrown out because of it? Can I just play dumb and go to the courthouse/police station and show them my gas cap and be on my merry way?

Please, no opinions, or how you *think it works. I'm just looking for people who have been in a similar situation.

Oh btw, it's a ka, so I don't have to worry about the whole sr thing.

TIA.

hmmm if the officer didnt write anything around the ref sticker on the back of your ticket then you can peel it off and hopefully not have to go to the state ref anymore and just get the CVC 21756b citation writen off by some cop.(a friend of mine did this).

do you have an exhaust?...if so then im not sure you can try and play dumb bec she wrote down "mod exhaust" instead of "missing gas cap" and the judge will only see whats writen down on the ticket.

i got cited for the same....CVC21756b(mod emissions), CVC21751(mod exhaust and state ref required. i also got that state ref sticker on the back of my ticket but the officer wrote around it so i couldnt peel it off.

i have one of those books from the courthouse that tells you all the codes and what they mean , that thing is a giant book with many pages its scary . Oh and they can site you for not having a proper gas cap believe it or not . I dont know it that was the case tho :(
