Those boys are out there all the time doing an outstanding job. I was pulled over going 26 in a 25 mph zone and was given a ticket for $93.00. They were also kind enough to write me also not wearing a seat belt, not having a front license plate, failure to carry an insurance card and last but not least a cracked windshield and loud muffler. The whole thing cost me about $483.00. I tried to fight it in court by following the advice of this site and it cost me, it cost me big! I said to the cop, " well should I make the check out to you or the PD? He just looked at me puzzled and said no, that the money goes to the state and that they don't get a penny of that money. I confirmed that a friend of mines wifes brother who is also a cop in another part of the state. He also said that the towns no longer get any of the money, it all goes to the state.So watch yourself in that area They are there almost every morning and evening. I am going to think that the prosecutors will not be cutting any deals with evil drivers as they have in the past. Just look at what I had to pay, I think that says it all.

Comment (5/2006): i agree i was drivine 114 in a 65 and the cop pulled me over and he arrested me and took away my licence. i think that that was enough but no they made me pay 650$ to the (MAN). this sucks! how do they expect me to go to work.
