Fenton, population 226, brings in over $1 million per year through its mayor’s court, an unusual justice system in which the mayor can serve as judge even though he’s responsible for town finances.

This is the exact plot of Nothing but Trouble except the mayor in the movie is a literal dicknose.
That movie sounds fucking insane.
It very much is. 2Pac dances in it. He was a dancer in Digital Underground. You might know them from the hit song "The Humpty Dance". There's a random performance from them in the movie.
I watched it once at the age of 8 in a hotel on a roadtrip. It has haunted my dreams ever since.
