However, going to pay a 30 dollar ticket it somehow skyrockets to 115. Am I the only one that feels that paying 'court costs' when you pre-pay a ticket is unreal? If the fine is 30 bucks, fine me 30 bucks. Don't dare tell me processing a ticket costs you 85 dollars.

Yeah that's where they get you, they call it a surcharge tax in NY. A $50 ticket turns into $125 no problem.
