I thought there was a sticky about the towns that are hard/tough to get a LTC ?
Also can the PD charge anything more than the 100.00 fee.
My friend is going to apply and @ some point in the past he was told there where Xtra fees
for paper work and finger print cards?
 
Some cities/towns have been known to charge additional fees. It violates the law as laid out in Ch. 140, BUT there are NO PENALTIES to the PDs that do so . . . therefore they are free to do whatever they like (from a practical point of view).

Suing the town for violating the law will cost you more in legal (and filing) fees than you'd ever collect IF you win (judges aren't known for "just following the law" in MA). PDs/COPs know this too and thus sometimes intentionally violate the law with impunity.
 
1. CHALLENGE the basis for anything over the $100 fee; and

2. Pay by CHECK to prove the overcharge.
