One previous job I had a part where our application was being used to track court fees and restitution. The anonymized (names & addresses were, the rest was not) data used in the development environment was heartbreaking.
Many of the fees are set by state legislators. If you got a $50 fine for "whatever", there would be close to $1,000 added in fees for misdemeanors (things you cannot be imprisoned for more than 365 days). Felonies (things that you can get more than 1 year in prison for) were not handled by this level of court.
