I went to court to get a traffic ticket dismissed. It was for expired registrarion that wasent. Judge tossed the ticket then hit me with 40 dollars in court fees.. I was not happy at all.. I would have been money ahead if I had just paid the ticket (100 bucks) and worked the 5 hours I sat in that court room.
Oh I could tell you some stories that would make your hair stand on end.
One thing happening in two counties here...traffic court will have hundreds show up with tickets written, then no judge (preplanned) and then they get to pay ticket fines of $? and court costs of $283.00 without representation.
The ones who want a ‘Prayer for Judgment’ that protects license and insurance must see a judge so only they get to have a continuance. After so many continuances and no judge...well pay the fines and court costs is the attitude of the county. Imagine the income revenue!
