Being European, I've never heard of a legal system where debt from legal procedures accumulated for being unable to pay it. America Land of the Free indeed, as long as you can afford the freedom. Unfortunately the bad ideas propagate - my country's government has recently created a similar system of fees for legal services, but here at least the lawyers and judges associations have protested it as immoral; and, at least in principle, fines should be proportional to the capability of people to pay them.
