Soaring fuel prices have forced one police force in the US to increase fines for offending motorists.
From 1 July, drivers caught in Holly Springs, Georgia, will have to pay an extra $12 to cover the costs of police chasing them down.
Recent $4-a-gallon fuel costs have forced other police forces in the US to turn to unusual cost saving measures.
n Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, police patrols are being ordered out of their cars and onto cycle and foot patrols.
In South Fayette, also in Pennsylvania, officers have been told not to sit parked up with air conditioning on. The local police chief told his patrols: "If you want to stay cool, park under a tree."

The average police cruiser gets what? About 25mpg? At roughly $4 per gallon they'd have to chase you 75 miles to be able to justify an additional $12 charge. I doubt the typical offender gets 'chased' for more than a mile!!
Our justice system is completely unjustified!!-
