Chicago DUI attorney isn't surprised that more fees are on the way

This Chicago DUI attorney has posted here, here, and here about the legislature’s attempts to balance the budget on the backs of the accused.  Brace yourselves because a new law has been put into place that will distribute the load of the state’s budget to more folks accused.


$$$$$ . . .
Attention "Lead Feet!"
Vroom Doom! The bond for minor traffic offenses in Illinois will be increased from $75 to $120, effective Sept. 15!
• The buckshot: Sneed is told the ruling -- made by the state Supreme Court Thursday -- will generate major revenue for all levels of government.
Upon review of the changes to Illinois Supreme Court Rule 526, as long as one has a current Illinois license, a Recognizance bond is still available with the surrender of a license.  Currently, an accused in most minor traffic offenses, at least in Cook County, the accused is released on a Recognizance Bond.  That means no money is posted.
