The costs of any action may be assessed against the prosecuting witness and a judgment entered against the witness ordering the witness to pay the same and that the witness be committed until the costs are paid in any case where the Municipal Judge finds that the prosecution commenced vexatiously or without probable case or, in such case when the prosecuting witness fails to appear without good cause, or upon appearing, refuses to testify on other constitutional grounds.

Notwithstanding any provision of law, Supreme Court Rule, or Court Operating Rule, in a proceeding for a municipal ordinance violation or any other proceeding before a Municipal Court if the charge carries the possibility of fifteen (15) days or more in jail or confinement, a defendant shall not be charged any fee for obtaining a police report, probable cause statement, or any video relevant to the traffic stop or arrest. Such police report, probable cause statement, or video shall be provided by the prosecutor upon written request by the defendant for discovery.
