Fines & Fees?

When a person is cited with a parking ticket or a speeding ticket, they generally have to pay fines and fees to the court. Where the funds from these civil infractions go depends on the jurisdiction, but most stay in the county or municipality where the infraction was cited. In terms of fines and fees for criminal offenses, the situation becomes a bit more complicated. Hear from Judge Mary Logan of Spokane Municipal Court and Judge Katie Loring from San Juan Superior Court explain how the thinking about fines and fees has changed in the last 10-15 years.
