More for cost, they absolutely can fix the charge prior to trial if he elects to fight it. Doesn’t mean they will but it is within the prosecuting authority’s discretion.

If you don't value your time whatsoever, by all means fight away.

they can not increase the fine if you choose to fight it. This isn't a 3rd world
