Hey there Shaka,
First of all, just curious about the 'Shaka'handle. What characters do you use to write it, other than hiragana?
Anywho, there is a wierd thing going on concerning smoking and butts. There's a couple of lakes up in northern California and maybe some in so cal (???Lake Perris????) that actually have a no smoking regulation. Don't shoot me on the Perris thing if my memory slipped. Up north, it's not due to fire hazard but because (??urban myth??) somebody put out a report that cigarette filters where found in the stomachs of poor little trout undigested and was the cause of their demise.
As davetclown has wisely advised, be real nice and polite to the judge, as I'm sure you would be anyway. You see, I've heard of some DFG cases being tried by judges specifically on the bench for the DFG. Gulp!
Good luck, If your wife has to do a couple of 100 hours of community service for what she did, hey! that just means you've got a little time to yourself to go fishing on the multi-day trip you've been looking at!
