The fees are absolutely ridiculous. My wife got a ticket a few weeks ago for having a brake light out. County has a standing order that allows routine citations like that be paid outside of court for $15 and showing a receipt for repair (or new bulbs in this case). That $15 turned into ~$60 after everything else that was tacked on, and of course had to be paid in person, etc. Thankfully not a huge deal for us, more for time than cost. But there are a lot of people in our county that an unexpected $60 and having to miss work to pay it would ruin their month and possibly get them fired.
