This ensures that all trespass fines collected By the Holy Okie will never be considered worthy of counter-suits for the fines fall short of twenty dollars by the amount of a single McKinney Penny. If a suit is filed all that may be collected is A Penny for every twenty that is being sought. example: If the suit is for $100 then only a Nickle can be recovered.

Bill: Hey, Jim I heard you were suing that Totalitarian tyrant Blackfoot redneck Leprechaun Lord Bud to recover those fines for trespass, how did it go?
Jim: I combined six years of fines so the amount would be in excess of twenty dollars but because of his 7th amendment rebuttal I could only recover a Nickle. Damn common law keeps protecting that tyrant and the jury was laughing the whole time.
