McHenry County DUI Costs
Court costs are too high. Recently the legislature enacted a law which allowed each city to charge an extra $500 "equipment fee" for the purchase of video equipment (and other equipment). The idea was that we should make the "DRUNK DRIVERS" pay for new equipment.
Of course all of the state representatives agreed.
In McHenry County the reality is that the police departments like to collect this money but they don't like to buy video machines. And the reason is: because they don't want me to use the video tape during trial. It seems they have a hard time getting the police reports to match the video (because video don't lie).
