How much for stop sign ticket?

Answer 1

Fines differ in every county of all of the 50 states. You can usually find the traffic offense fine schedule on the website of the county court serving the area where the citation was issued. Be aware that what you really pay can be the sum of the statutory fine for your violation + the court costs for your violation. Court Costs can be divided into numerous catagories. In West Virginia, for example there is a Jail Fee, Jail Maintanance Fee, Victims of Crime Fee and some others, along with basic court costs. Thus a $5 gets bumped up to $115.75 Ohio Court Costs include a Victims of Crime add on fee along with other fees added. Most states simplify all this and call the whole thing court costs and they can run from $35 if you are very lucky. to $200+ . Here in Columbus, basic court costs are usually $90 and the fine for your violation is usually $30 if you pay the waiver, so you would pay $120 if you received the ticket in Columbus from a Columbus Police Officer, Franklin County Sheriff or Ohio State Highway Patrol officer. The fine could be different, higher or lower if you receive the ticket in one of the neighboring counties . It will certainly be different if you receive it in another state. Even here, if you go to court a judge could legally make your fine $150 plus court costs for a total of $240 if (s)he wanted to be profoundly strict and send some sort of message to you. To get your actual fine amount, you need to check your local court's website or call the court having jurisdiction over tickets in your area.
