Do any other municpalites have a traffic ticket fine like we have just gotten on Long Island N.Y.?  We now have a $15 to $30.00 processing fee if you are found not guilty OR because of a mistake on a traffic ticket.  I believe we are the first area to pay a "fee" for innocence. Any body else have this were you live? Paul |

Another "revenue enhancement". We have a court cost fine that is levied if you plead guilty to the violation without points on your operators license. This is a real money maker, because how many of you would rather pay the fine without points....think CDL!!! Almost everyone pays the fine regardless of the higher cost. We stopped the "Bread and Butter" license, if you need to drive, they have you over the barrel.

Paul,
I don't really know about traffic fines here in CNY, but if L.I.'s doing it I'm sure it won't be long before they do it up here, too. I have a couple of friends (yes, I have friends) in the Onondaga County court system. I'll ask them.
