@@Grovel007 y'all need to stop saying this shit. Who told you this? Yall don't know what you're talking about. PC DOES NOT pay judgments. There's a $500 appearance fee that is split between the plaintiff and defendant. If the plaintiff wins they get the defendant's portion and that is deducted from the settlement so the most a defendant gets away with is up to $250. After that it is a legally enforceable judgement that they pay. The show DOES NOT pay it. If you don't believe me Google it but why would I make all that up.
