NOW, the system waits 10 days, AND THEN YOU'RE SUSPENDED...

I know this from first hand actions. I had paid a fine, but thought I had two fines on the ticket, but it was only one, so I over paid double on one check. And two months later, UMPD stopped me for DAS (driving after suspension). No ticket was issued, and I was allowed to return home.

If failure to respond to a fine is kept for more than I THINK 6 months, then a petty warrant is issued for your arrest for failure to appear.


And although honesty may get you a ticket, he did pull you over anyway, so he had to have at least THOUGHT you were speeding... I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing that cop was full of it... You'd probably been issued a ticket anway.

I overpayed because I knew I was paying late but didn't know if there was a added charge here in St. Louis Co. It said nothing of it on the ticket. If I get in more trouble for giving them too much money, no amount of their pain will make me happy. I've had enough of trying to do the right thing. It always costs more and screws me in the end. I can't wait to have some more jail time for doing the right thing, again.
