They charge it because the city refuses to fund the court system and Judge Young is trying to clear out the backlog of cases. Think of it as a "pay-as-you go" plan. You use it, you pay for it. I'm not saying I agree with it, but there is some common sense basis behind it.
Now personally, I wouldn't even have a clue about what the upcharge is. I've never had to pay it.  |
This flys in theface one one of the basic tenents the legal system is founded on.
