If you get a traffic ticket, you can pay it online here: www.lakecountyin.org/tp which is all well and good... it's easy and painless except for the $8.99 transaction fee. Here's the breakdown - Original ticket: Unsafe Lane Change (turn signal) $126.60 Plus transaction fees $8.99 Total amount $135.49 I don't mind paying for convenience... better than driving all the way there, usually during work hours because God forbid they stay open a second past 4 PM. Yay! ticket paid off... (few days later) Gee... I didn't get confirmation if it went through... I think I'll call... 219-755-3570 Person answers with the Lake County (blah blah blah), I say "hell.." interrupted "HOLD" hmmm... ok. 10 minutes later... "Lake County blah blah blah..." try again, I told them about the ticket etc. online payment etc. "The Clerks Office just closed, call back tomorrow... *CLICK*" noooo... that #!@(kR didn't just do that... *looks at phone* "Call Ended" Ohhhh EFFF no!!! so... 'just closed' meant that - TEN FRAKIN' MINUTES AGO IT WAS OPEN !?! - proceeds to recite a long list of expletives. I Called the next morning (today) friendliest nicest person on the phone, with a "Good morning Lake County Court House, how may I help you?" Gave her the details, and wasn't even transferred, put on a 2 minute hold, she picked back up, ticket payment went through, they'll re send confirmation of payment. If I were you, I'd ONLY call in the mornings... it's a trial in patience (and making up new curse words) if you call in the afternoon. 2 stars - 1 for the easy online pay 1 for the morning receptionist

NOPE was I definitely wrong. Sheriff dept has no good customer service and when someone with a little care of assisting me you have another person stepping in to not help but make sure I'm not able to get proper attention, answers and documents.

I was pulled over by officer Juarez last night after leaving dinner, and received a citation after he blatantly searched for a justification to cite me. When he initially stopped me, he stated that I was driving "eradically", and questioned whether I had alcohol in my system. Once I told him I had just left dinner where I had two glasses of lemonade, he then went on the ask "what the smell was in my car, and did I spray something before he walked up?" He was implying I was smoking drugs in my car, and was attempting to cover an odorous smell up with fragrance. I've never done drugs in my life. I explained to him that what he was smelling was my Dolce & Gabbana perfume, which I had sprayed on earlier in the day before leaving my 8 hour shift of work. He then asks for my license and insurance and walks away to his squad car with my license in tow. He comes back about ten minutes later, and then tells me that my tail lights are out, which I know is a lie. I'm driving a vehicle that is practically brand new, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of my lights on my vehicle. He then hands me a citation and pulls off where he literally pulls over the next car who drives past 5 seconds later. Once I got home, I checked my tail lights and realized they worked just fine, so my suspicions were valid in that he had just lied to my face to justify giving me this ticket. I know there's no use in fighting this fraudulent citation in court because judges always take Police's side no matter how full of it they are, and sadly, this is the kind of behavior that has resulted in so many people distrusting all law enforcement. I live in a community where there's heavy police presence, and I've never experienced anything like this before.
