“Okay, suppose you refuse to pay your next speeding ticket. You will face financial and professional destruction.”
Here in NM, whenever you pay a fine, my advice is to send it certified mail, receipt requested. Bernalillo County has a reputation for losing track of payment for fines. I had my drivers license revoked for a parking citation that I had paid by mail. I brought a copy of the post office receipt and the cancelled check paying the fine to traffic court to clear it.

Similar problem while stationed in Germany back in 1975. Got a speeding ticket on the autobahn of all places. Paid the $70 fine at the German post office, kept the receipt (I had heard stories).

Sure enough, two weeks before PCS I get a letter to go pay the fine. Go down to security, desk guy sends me to the German representative, he makes a copy of the letter and the receipt, tells me “Thank You”.

Seems the postmaster was keeping the fines. Don’t know what they did to him.

I departed on time.
