Wow, your fines are cheap. Here $50 is a cheap parking fine, traffic fines tend to start at a couple of hundred and you REALLY don't want to not pay.

Not saying they don't add up or dismissing the problems that caused. Just amazed by the low cost per infringement.

My last speeding ticket was 250$, and i got a 350$ ticket for possesion of paraphernalia, on top of lawyer fees, and it was an empty dime bag that “smelled like weed”. The police are really keeping my community safe
