Every single state has their own revised codes or laws concerning traffic, etc. Most states have a set fine for traffic tickets. Sherriff & local police should be the same. Check with a local attorney in that area

I don't know about the difference in city/county cops, but tickets from state police are much higher, I got one a speeding ticket from one a few years ago and "ouch"!

Traffic ticket costs are standardized by county and state, not city.

in our county, the clerk of the court sets the guidelines for traffic fines
all municipalities, the sheriff, and state troopers cite the individual, the clerk assesses the fines.
if you don't pay , you go to jail.
kinda like the weather forecast
FINE TODAY....COOLER TOMORROW

What chages is the court where it is heard in.
Most city police have thier tickets heard in a city court.
sheriff and state police, have thier tried in state court.
the different courts can have different levels of fines.

No unless it was issued on federal property..... then it is a felony. I think only a federal officer can issue a citation on federal property though.
Edit... I am in california..... some states may have different rules

NO,unless you happen to be passing through one of those one horse towns who is desperate for money, then perhaps it is true.
