Quote:A scathing report released by a civil rights group today says the Golden State’s structure of spiraling court fees and fines — which tend to disproportionately affect poor Californians — are “chillingly similar” to practices in Ferguson recently slammed by federal justice officials.
The report, by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights in San Francisco, concludes that “a litany of practices and policies in California turn a citation offense into a poverty sentence.” The group found that more than 4 million Californians have lost their driver’s licenses because they failed to appear in court or pay a citation — some of which have nothing to do with driving at all.
