I thought you only had to pay court costs if you like try to fight it' date=' do you have to pay court costs reguardless?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/quote']
Here you pay court costs unless you can beat the charge. If you beat the charge you walk for free. If you plead guilty, you pay. If you fight and lose, you pay. Sometimes on the first offense, the judge will allow the case to be "dismissed with costs" which waives the fine and only charges for the court's cost of processing the case.
