"Availability of reasonable installment payment plans for fines used to be scattershot, but now people do not have to pay more than 10 percent of their fines in down payment. This is just one change that states can consider. They should also ensure that courts are open with flexible hours that allow people to show up without missing work. They can limit the potential for small fines to escalate into absurd sums. And they can allow those on suspended licenses more latitude, for example by permitting them to drive to job interviews."
