Reply to comment by cmyk412 in where does all the money from parking tickets go? by Ok-Difference-8696

I paid it within less than 48 hours. The point is that I'm curious about the allocation of excess money from fines, not that I'm trying to complain that the officer did their job.

Why do you say it’s excess? Get over it already. You broke the law and got caught. If you wanted to fight the fine, that’s what traffic court is for. Roads are very expensive, that money’s gotta come from somewhere.

Excess to whatever taxes may contribute towards traffic maintenance already, is what I meant. Or maybe it’s estimated that a lot of the money will come from things like parking fines, to create a more self sustained system.

I was over it the moment it happened because I knew I was in the wrong, and I have no interest in fighting something as simple and clear cut as a parking fine. Like I already stated, the fact that I got a ticket was not the point of the post. Curiosity about the economics is the point of the post, which was piqued by the event of getting a ticket. I really don’t know how to make that any clearer.
