$200 is BS, but what fine amount isn't really? I got a seat belt ticket in a dump-truck once, and the ticket was more then I made working the entire day. Because I forgot to put a seat belt on, once out of the hundred times I got in and out of the truck that day, I should loose my entire earnings of over 8 hours? Ridiculous.
Unfortunately its all a part of the show, and our mistakes are the 'Grease' that keeps the machine running, and if they didn't write BS tickets they couldn't keep in business. This week its you, next week its someone else. Police spending hours witting violations when there's gangs and drugs all over is evidence of that, gotta raise the money somehow.
