[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3295271, member: 7900"] While it isn't something that has been brought up, some "tickets" are worse than others. As a "general" rule, in state district courts, a misdemeanor punishment is maxed at 1 year in jail and/or $500 fine. However, municipalities and their courts can be more. For instance, I used to regularly see municipal court dispositions with someone getting a $750 fine for possession of MJ. Had that "trial" been held in state district court, it would likely have been a maximum of $500, but many times much, much less than that. A LOT of misdemeanor fines were in the $100 range. So, while I can't remember all of the municipalities that charged high fines, I'd say that it would be prudent to obey the law, if for no other reason than avoiding an overcharged fine. [/QUOTE]
