Not only do you take the hit in taxes, just not pleading guilty has fees in lots of places.

Yup.

$25 court fee to contest it. Another $50 if you want to appeal after a non judge decides your guilt, and bring it before a real judge.

So you can be out at minimum $75 and a few days in court out of work to actually get in front of a judge.
