If you have received a ticket from the city of Chicago, you could already be included in a new class-action lawsuit alleging the city violated Illinois law by charging you too much. Good news for Brian, as he speeds constantly. The lawsuit stems from the way Chicago handles its parking tickets and other matters, as the city utilizes a special administrative court.
To level the playing field, Illinois state law limits the amount of fines and penalties for a single violation to $250. The new lawsuit accuses the city of doubling the fines and penalties for late payments so that some car owners wound up owing thousands of dollars.
