Well in my county you could bring in five cents a month and wouldn't be jailedDude gets a parking ticket, penalties stack up, warrant for his arrest. Ticket is $500 and he cant pay it cause hes working 2 jobs to feed his family living payday to payday and now hes in jail for 10-20 days, loses his job...and over $500, and it cost $800 to house him for that time. judge orders he pay another $2000. He's released to find work and cant come up with the money. Back to jail for 6 months at the cost to you of $11,000
Your tax dollars destroying lives.
This is in fact a true story here in OK. Over a parking ticket.
