The fees cover the theoretical cost of
filing the motions (the guilty plea, etc) and the filing costs of the public
record. They are also punitive in nature so probably don't reflect actual
cost.
The question that I have is why would he
have it *in the window* when he knows they are illegal. That doesn't make
a whole lot of sense. It would be like running around Miami with a kilo of
coke on your dash.

I
guess they just dismiss it from your record.....Now I can see if you go to court
and have it dismissed still having to pay court costs, but I always thought
paying the ticket was an admission of guilt and if it's paid before the court
date, then why does the judge have to even look at the case, especially if you
arent required to show up at court.
I know what you mean, I've had
cases dismiss the ticket but you still have to pay court cost...and wind up
paying $100 or more. That always seemed wrong to me, that the ticket could be
dismissed and you still wind up paying $100.....

It
just seems stupid, although I know the counties get their money from those
court costs, but why pay them if you arent even going.
Court Cost where we lived in
Louisiana most of the time were around $100 or so...so be glad it's just
$50. lol But yeah, know what you mean. lol

Ahhh did you really need to post this one today. Hubby got nailed
for having a radar dectector yesterday and the stupid thing wasnt even
plugged in. (remember they are illegal in Va). The cop saw it in the
window and didnt care it didnt even have a power supply going to it (it
was at home here with me) gave him the ticket anyway. $94 for a stupid
radar detector. Oh and $50 of that is court costs which I dont see why
you have to pay court costs if you pay the ticket (which admits your
guilt) before the court date.
Will a radar detector always warn you
when you're under surveillance?
Not necessarily - A basic radar
detector won't do you much good if the police officer drives up behind
you and turns on the radar gun. The detector will alert you, but by
that time, the officer already has all the information he or she
needs. In many cases, however, detectors pick up the signal before the
speeding car can be tracked. Police often leave their radar guns
turned on for a long period of time, instead of activating them after
sneaking up behind a car.
