Hello members,
did anyone see on Fox 25 the special report about how cities and towns are getting cheated out of money owed to them when a said police officer arrests a person for a default warrant. Massachusetts has a mandatory law stating when a city or town police officer arrest someone on a default warrant the person who defaults on that warrant owes the court $75 which in turn the $75 fee goes to the city and town. Fox 25 issue was that judges from Assachusetts are not enforcing this mandatory law and in turn cities and towns are losing money owed to them. Cities and towns like Boston are owed almost $200,000 Springfield is owed $50,000 and the list goes on and on.
