Just tell the judge u will be happy to pay court costs just as soon as the agency pays your costs for the unlawful cite, and that by the way, the court costs were a direct result of that unlawful cite, so they can reimburse that also.
Dont recall EVER hearing of an acquitted defendant having to pay ANY court cost.
btw, we will all be sending u a bill for the advice given here
just add it to the claim when u submit it.
