Undercharging shall be defined as the act of issuing a monetary value for a citation that is under the legal limit permitted by the charge’s legislation. Overcharging shall be defined as the act of issuing a monetary value for a citation that is over the legal limit permitted by the charge’s legislation.). It shall count as a false citation if a law enforcement officer gives a citation to another individual without probable cause (an officer knowing that an individual has committed a crime since that he or she saw it be committed or by having received sufficient evidence of the crime an individual committed.
