Not in 0bama’s Amerika.
I've had two incidents in the past year involving gruberment bureaucrats/employees "not doing their job".
It's not their problem, in the game of Gruberment Tag. All they have to do is reach out and say, "Tag! You're It!"
Even after "you've made sure" you've been cleared after paying a fine, it's not necessarily true that you've been cleared.
And it's not their problem.
And they have guys to follow orders to gig you for not "being cleared".
One of the basic problems is that America is over-run with "law enforcement".
It's amazing that the Founders got along with without a cop or two under every rock.
These deputies needed to show some discretion. I suspect that there was a "hot MILF" factor involved in the kidnapping.
I think the inferences were plain on the face of the post. LOL! :)

Anarcho-tyranny:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_T._Francis#Anarcho-tyranny
Sam Francis wrote: What we have in this country today, then, is both anarchy (the failure of the state to enforce the laws) and, at the same time, tyranny – the enforcement of laws by the state for oppressive purposes; the criminalization of the law-abiding and innocent through exorbitant taxation, bureaucratic regulation, the invasion of privacy, and the engineering of social institutions, such as the family and local schools; the imposition of thought control through "sensitivity training" and multiculturalist curricula, "hate crime" laws, gun-control laws that punish or disarm otherwise law-abiding citizens but have no impact on violent criminals who get guns illegally, and a vast labyrinth of other measures. In a word, anarcho-tyranny.
And he also wrote: The laws that are enforced are either those that extend or entrench the power of the state and its allies and internal elites ... or else they are the laws that directly punish those recalcitrant and "pathological" elements in society who insist on behaving according to traditional norms – people who do not like to pay taxes, wear seat belts, or deliver their children to the mind-bending therapists who run the public schools; or the people who own and keep firearms, display or even wear the Confederate flag, put up Christmas trees, spank their children, and quote the Constitution or the Bible – not to mention dissident political figures who actually run for office and try to do something about mass immigration by Third World populations.
Anarcho-tyranny is why you'll never see Lois Lerner, Hillary Clinton, Jon Corzine, Charlie Rangel, Bill Clinton, or John Koskinen serve a day in jail, even though they've all committed serious felonies.
Those people are all Managers, and in The Managerial State, they are above the Law.
Law is for peasants.
The Managerial State:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managerial_state
Paul Gottfried, in After Liberalism, defines this worldview as a "series of social programs informed by a vague egalitarian spirit, and it maintains its power by pointing its finger accusingly at antiliberals." He calls it a new theocratic religion. In this view, when the managerial regime cannot get democratic support for its policies, it resorts to sanctimony and social engineering, via programs, court decisions and regulations...
“Why are people thrown in jail for automobile tickets?”
Money.
Yeppers.
Dja get a ticket, or did he let you off with a warning and his phone number?
I got a ticket!!
My only one. So far.
I take it you’ve learned to play the game, then? My wife is life-long lead foot. About 30 years ago she got stopped by a local town cop and still believes the only reason she got a ticket was because he saw the child seat in the rear after he stopped her.
I will admit to skating 2 tickets by getting teary eyed.
Tears! You mean you resorted to total nuclear warfare over a ticket?
The mistake I made the first time. I was stoic.
A woman teary eyed and pleading = no ticket.
Lesson learned.
