Around here it seems that many, if not most people pulled over are wanted for unpaid tickets. I hear 10-99 all day long on the scanner. Just from listening to the radio, it appears that many people are habitual traffic violators. I drive a 100 mile stretch each day. Mostly highway. These crappy drivers are just plain dangerous and enforcement is not anywhere high enough. They know where most of the traps are and slow down when they get close to them. I see the same ones day after day. Im not talking about wide open spaces and people driving over the limit. I dont see a public safety issue there. My problem is crowded highways and bumper riders and weavers slopping all over the road.
The most disturbing thing is that at least twice daily, I hear people with nasty records like assault with a deadly weapon, assaulting a public servant, etc.

There has to be some bite to the law. If you did not pay a traffic ticket and nothing happened what would be the point of the ticket. If the ticket was cheap most people would think oh it is worth it and speed or drive like a moron more often. I am pretty sure that people arrested for traffic warrants dont really spend that much time in jail most just a couple of hours. I really dont think that traffic warrants are contributing to jail overcrowding. Most police officers I know dont take people in for one traffic warrant unless that person is just being an idiot. They usually inform that person of the warrant and explain how to take care of it. Now if they have multiple warrants for the same traffic offense they do go to jail.
Moral of the story is: pay your ticket and go on. Also, keep the receipt.
First of january of this year i got a "speeding 1-10 over the limit ticket". Cop said it was the minimum fine he could give for speeding, $160.
