Well, it's not a case about [1]two dollars, but here's a federal appeal over a $25 processing fee issued for a traffic violation: [2]United States v. Trimble. The Ninth Circuit holds that the magistrate judge violated the Constitution by imposing the fee on some traffic violators and not others based on the happenstance of which form they received.
