Revenue tickets carry no jail time. How can they take you into custody for a lesser speeding charge (e.g. not x2 the speed limit)?

Revenue tickets do carry jail time if you don’t pay them or go to court- a warrant will be issued for your arrest and you will have to pay the original fine ++++ My step-son learned this the hard way after ignoring traffic tickets until he was arrested, jailed overnight and had to pay $1,800 to be released. His multiple outstanding tickets were all for the same broken tail light- that was still broken when he was arrested during a traffic stop- which was again for the broken tail light. The judge had no sense of humor with his attitude that traffic tickets were meaningless. You will not be jailed for most traffic offenses-if-you comply. You certainly will be jailed if you refuse to sign the ticket or comply with other requests- like a breath or other test for alcohol and you will be jailed eventually if you comply with the officer and then ignore the ticket/s.
