victim surcharge of £154.

WHAT VICTIM??? The article says nothing of him doing anything to others. To my knowledge he didn't attack anyone. There's no victim!

He is the victim. It's a charge on him.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

Soooooo, either he should get the money, as the victim, or the charge is basically police charging victims money for being victims.

.....I feel like I'm missing something here.

This "victim surcharge" would be termed court cost or court fee in the US.

What a strange name if thats the purpose.

Oh, I wasn't accusing you of lying. I was just saying it's such a strange name for a charge that has a legitimate purpose, but is named in a way that has nothing to do with that purpose.

Kinda like if you took an uber, and they charged you for the "poopy diaper charge". And you say nobody on your trip even wore a diaper. So the driver tells you it's so he can refill his gas in the car.
