People who get traffic tickets don't have to pay their fines at the Winnebago County Courthouse from now on.

They're not getting off for free but instead of making a trip downtown they can pay online. It's one of three new features offered by the Winnebago County Courthouse.

There’s also a new public records viewing area for public inquiry. And the courthouse has a new self help legal center for people who want to file a lawsuit but can't afford an attorney.
