It’s well known that cities have been using citations as form of taxation to generate revenue. More and more fees have been added on such that the actual fine for your transgression is but small part of total you’ll pay.

"The additional fees have been added by the state legislature over the years as a way to fund state and county programs and court costs."

If you walk into a CA DMV office, there's a pie-chart on the wall somewhere that shows the breakdown of the sources of their operations budget. Biggest slice of pie? Yep, traffic tickets.

In Los Angeles, they make something like $50-million/year in parking-meter fees. But something like $176-million in parking-fines.
