Does every criminal pay this fee and if so is it law in most states? Yes I am aware that many felony charges do not involve damage to property or persons.
“Does every criminal pay this fee and if so is it law in most states?”
I don’t know of any that don’t. It is a standard line item on the list of “punitive actions” and if there is no actual victim, then the fee is actually handed over to MADD. I have to admit, I mis-named it in my other post, it is actually called the “Victim Impact Panel Fine” or something very close to that...
“Yes I am aware that many felony charges do not involve damage to property or persons.”
Then what is the point of increasing government reach to force these folks to buy an insurance product to protect no one from damage to their person or property?
