I was just pondering this thread and remembered a buddy of mine got popped a few years ago in Gwinnett County Georgia. His fine for speeding came to a mere 25 bucks as per state law, HOWEVER, by the time they finished tacking on court costs, sheriff retirement fund fee, new jail fee, and a few other fees the total came to about 500 bucks, AND THEY CAN LEGALLY TACK THESE "FEES" ON. Talk about a cash cow and safer than busting some burglar, bank robber, or dope dealer.
