[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 158340, member: 816"] lets clarify really... it makes it so you can pay the ticket of $250 just like a traffic offense. however, you are still entitled to a trial by jury if you choose to exercise that right since it is still a class B or A misdemeanor. frankly, i think this just lightened the consequences instead of stiffening them like we all wanted. now you don't even have to appear in front of a judge. just get your ticket and pay your ticket. since the court costs alone for class B misdemeanors is already $225, this certainly doesn't appear to stiffen the penalties by much. only thing i can think of is in a situation like DAPL, they could've written tickets and hoped everyone paid them rather than clog up the court system with 150 people who got the same charge on the same day. am i reading this wrong? i referenced it earlier in one of these threads and nobody responded. i think it was in the other one and it probably got lost in all of the productive back and forth banter that was taking place. just read it again... since it seems to apply to 2nd and subsequent offenses with are class A misdemeanors, it definitely lessened the consequences because court costs alone for class A misdemeanors are $300. WTF just happened? [/QUOTE]
