Um...
Almost $27,000 an hour in fines?
There are only 60 minutes in an hour. Even if you could try a case in 60 seconds or less, that would be an average fine of $450 per case, at one case per minute, or with 5 courtrooms trying cases at a rate of one case every 5 minutes.
Methinks your math may be off a bit.
