So much for equal justice for all , so now it seems if you want plead not guilty and challenge the system (your God given right, not to mention Magna Carta etc.) you get penalized for it by a surcharge on top of the legal punishment .
If you want to throw more money down social rat-holes and create more jobs for civil servants then use monies taken from the 'regular pot' but dont punish someone twice (original fine + surcharge)
