Fenton, population 226, brings in over $1 million per year through its mayor’s court, an unusual justice system in which the mayor can serve as judge even though he’s responsible for town finances.

    While I’m not saying it’s a good idea to avoid fines, most cities aren’t going to go more than 30 minutes or so to pick up a warrant for fines only. Heck, I’ve seen warrants that have a little addendum, “in-state pick-up only,” when the crime was a highly charged felony.

      Even if they opt not to transport, you will get harassed at every traffic stop when warrants pull up. They will take a lot longer than normal, and you still run the risk of getting arrested, even it they don’t transport and instead release you later.

        How often you getting pulled over?! Been in the South for going on 20 and have been pulled over 4 times, and each time I was either fucking up or appeared to be.
