That's what I call them, FEE GRABBERS! I got one of these supposed "legal" tickets a few months back, turning onto an access road, in an unpopulated area of the metroplex, with a half-mile of visibility. Regardless of the fact that I did not come to a complete 100% stop,Oldgringo wrote: ... I mailed in the $75 fee grabber fee ...
the thing that burned me was the $75. I have not had a moving or non-moving traffic violation in years and I think that should come into play at fine assessment time. Good guy, first offense-$25 (kind of like a warning). Repeat offender- $75.I am 100% for the betterment of our PDs, but find another way to buy a whole bunch of really cool stuff that I will never have an opportunity to play with...
