Chatham County, Georgia man Connor Cato tells WSAV he thought it was a mistake when a cop issued him a ticket for doing 90 in a 55 mph zone with a $1.4 million fine on the bottom line. That is until he called the clerk’s office and an employee told him no that’s really the fine amount.
“I said, ‘This might be a typo’ and she said, ‘No sir, you either pay the amount on the ticket or you come to court on December 21 at 1:30 pm,'” Cato explained. Turns out that’s really the practice in Savannah. Cato won’t actually owe that much provided he shows up, per WSAV, but the insane fine amounts are specifically meant to make sure a judge gives him hell for excessive speeding.
