Anyone know how much an open container ticket in CA will cost?

Question

First offense, clean record, CVC 23222 (subsection looks like (c) but can only seem to find (a) and (b) -- cop has really lousy handwriting!)

I see that pot posession (covered by subsection (b)) carries $100 fine, but that doesn't apply. It mentions nothing about fines for open alcoholic beverage containers, which in this case was a cold 3/4 full beer.

The county is San Diego, in case that matters. No other charges were filed.

Thanks!

Answer 1

It's 23222(a), there is no (c).

The 2008 Uniform Bail Schedule lists the fine for that offense as $266.
