How do you get out of paying a red light ticket (getting it dismissed) in California? ?

Answer 1

You hire a really good attorney.  At the moment the retainer is $3,500 billed at $300 an hour (for a junior partner) and $1,500 per Court appearance.  You'll probably lose, but it will give the law firm something to do.

Answer 2

You do not have enough money, to win a false case against you, nevermind a valid infraction.
