Suffolk County Expected To Raise Fees for Traffic Tickets

Suffolk County’s legislature is slated to vote on raising the amount of fees a violator will pay for traffic and parking tickets. The vote will take place in late March of this year. The increase in fees will double the fines for both traffic and parking tickets. Newsday expects this fee increase to pass, and give Suffolk county an additional $5.5 Million in fees. Interestingly, like NYC, the surcharges will often exceed the fine amount. What do you think of the increase in traffic and parking ticket fees in Suffolk County?
