A long time ago I didn’t pay a traffic ticket in Texas because I simply did not have the money. I rec’d a call from the police dept. warning me that a warrant had been put out so I needed to pay the ticket if I didn’t want to get arrested. It worked and I borrowed the money, went down and paid the fee.
What is wrong with that?
When we lived in Switzerland, a friend who lived there before came back on business. There was an old photo-ticket (radar camera speeding ticket - gets you for less than 5 mph over the limit) he had never received as it was at the time of his move. First night back, police showed up at his hotel room demanding immediate payment of fine and penalty.
