Because it was a "child", I heard those types of tickets require an appearance... could be wrong 'bout that too. If the judge gave her supervision and 90-days to pay the fine, and obviously she didn't, repeated visits to court cost money, thus court costs would raise it up to the ~$150... maybe???<br />Anyway, a couple of my 24 ouncers rolled off my rustbucket's passenger seat a few mornings ago. I undid my belt to reach down and pick'em up. While doing so I passed one of McHenry County's Finest and he pulled me over for not wearing a belt. I told him what happened, gave him one of my donuts and one of the brews to wash that stale donut down. He let me off with a "Tnanks!"
