"By the time this case works its way through court, a judge, a bailiff, a prosecutor, two clerks, the ticket-writing cop and a jury will all be paid for about two hours of work just on this case. The estimated cost for these services will be paid for by Deer Park taxpayers in the form of $396."
So the taxpayers get it at both ends, because there will also be some expenses to the school board, which is of course paid by tax money. It's nice to know that they're so willing to spend other people's money for the sake of standing on principle and prosecuting petty theft.
