Will I have to pay more than the amount on the citation if I am found guilty?
It is a possibility. First, the City Attorney may request payment for such things as a witness fee. The fine amount on your citation is not the maximum fine in most cases. The judge has the authority to impose a higher fine, if she deems it appropriate. Finally, if you do subpoena witnesses, you will not be reimbursed for these expenses even if you are found not guilty.
