We all know all too well that getting a traffic ticket proverbially hurts. And now the sting just got a bit more painful. Effective July 1, 2015, base fines for most traffic infractions will increase by $12. This monetary bump is the largest since 2007, and is said to be initiated so as to help cities and counties provide legal defense for indigent people accused of crimes, and for a new computer system for the state’s district courts. So driver beware, get a ticket and you quite possibly will be subsidizing our government even more than in past years.
