Mt Pleasant & Charleston Co moving voilations (prices, safe)

[mmok10]

A friend of mine just got a $120 ticket in Mt Pleasant, SC for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign on a side street. this seems outrageously high to me. Are the ticket prices posted somewhere like they are in NY, NJ & PA?

Everything's more expensive in Mt Pleasant

Had your friend stopped it wouldn't have cost anything. On the other hand, had an accident happened it would have cost A WHOLE LOT MORE. He/She didn't get anywhere any quicker.....

Posted? You mean like the "Stop" sign was posted? Sorry, had to take that shot. I don't know if the ticket prices are available like they are up north. I'll have to check around, if anyone has them it would be municode.com, but I doubt it.

I doubt they are posted, its gonna all depend upon what Bubba Redneck pulls ya and what he feels like charging. Jay Walking will run you 100's.....

Tickets should be given for people who are being unsafe on the road. In most cases, rolling slowly through a stop sign is probably not a safety hazard. These kind of tickets are handed out mostly for revenue. It's a form of legalized stealing, IMHO.
