This bill has been vetoed and has failed to become law for the following reasons:

Unclear structure. 'no more than $1,000' allows officers to fine any amount less than $1,000. In theory an officer could fine their friend $-10,000 and steal the entire DOJ balance. Please look at other legislation creating crimes for reference of how such should be structured.​
