Wow, that's a change in procedure. I wonder if Covid or overcrowding of the courts had anything to do with that. My friend got a ticket for speeding in her golf cart (24 mph downhill). It's not a speeding ticket. It was a ticket for operating an unlicensed golf cart as a car without proper registration. She had to go to court (don't show up in shorts or they won't let you in), pay fines and court costs of over $300, walk down the street and stand in line at another gvt. office to pay the fine. Then she had to provide proof that she had her golf cart modified to not go over 19.9 or whatever the legal speed limit is. And I know others who went through the same thing.


I wonder if your friend was spinning a story, or if things have really changed.
