California requires a bail deposit (equal to the fine) before a Trial by Written Declaration can be heard. Pay through San Francisco Traffic Court’s online pay portal, or apply for ability-to-pay relief through California’s MyCitations portal (San Francisco County is a participating court).
Every extra week between the citation and your filing is another week the officer can forget. California courts routinely grant first-time extension requests as a matter of course — you generally do not need a hardship reason.
