Pikers @ $4. Here in CA, if you get a ticket the surcharge is generally equal or larger than the fine for the infraction. I don’t know the pctage, it’s been a long time since I got a ticket. It’s equal or slightly greater IIRC. I think a $225 ticket gets up to $575.
in MN, the fine for not wearing your seatbelt is $25. With surcharges tacked on it gets to be about 200 bucks depending on the municipality. All of the excess except for about 10 bucks goes to police programs.
It’s a racket and an incentive to write tickets as all of them have the surcharges. They say they don’t have quotas, but this certainly creates the same incentive.
