Aside for the "legalities". A few years ago, California
cities discovered that they were not collecting on many of
the parking tickets, because, if they weren't paid
voluntarily, the city had to serve the owner of the car,
arange for court dates, etc.

The law was changed so as to convert (at city option)
parking tickets to civil fees, which attach to the vehicle
registration. In order to contest the fee, the owner has to
schedule an informal city hearing hearing -- if denied, the
owner then has to file a claim against the city -- if denied
again, the owner then has to file suit against the city. If
the owner can get civil sanctions (or possibly RICO damages)
in court, he MIGHT be able to recover his court costs.

No judge or judge-equivalent (administrative law judge) is
involved in the process before the owner files suit. It
can't be a "fine" without a judicial determination, can it?

Seems allowable to me. However, (also off topic for this
newsgroup), KNOWINGLY employing illegal aliens is a criminal
violation of Federal law.

I wonder. If we sold California back to Mexico, would that
eliminate the illegal immigrant problem AND the balance the
federal budget?

"Resemble"? Pardon the chuckle here as I say something about
California.

What IF my business in order to have enough drivers pays the
driver's license fees for illegal aliens in California?

(since your governor just signed that into law)

Fines are not deductible, even if "ordinary and necessary".

However, parking tickets in most jurisdictions in
California resemble fees more than fines, so they MIGHT
be deductible if "ordinary and necessary".
