A question to members from WA

...you don't HAVE to pay it...

Just don't get a popo behind you running your plate (in your car). They'll pop you for a warrant...ESPECIALLY in the Kelso/Longview corridor. Also, just don't do anything SO stupid as to get pulled over in the first place...or say anything SO stupid as to have the officer ask for your ID. I don't seem to remember the police actually being able to deny you the liberty of movement by having a misdemeanor ticket. If that was the case, there'd be a lot of people not moving very far.

My message won't get through...like it doesn't for most ticket dodgers.

I suppose I'm one of the only people here who, if I received a ticket, would actually pay the damned thing without a fuss. I need to really stop looking at these posts. It's a trainwreck waiting to happen.

So, I apologize if I'm coming off as a little rough...some of the gurls on here can't seem to handle the blunt truth. I had to modify my original post so as to not flay anyone alive.

I dunno, freedom of movement over state boarders (with a misdemeanor) is a lot different than freedom over country boarders. Foreigners are allowed into the country, it's not a right of theirs. I'm sure if the guy is at the boarder and they ask him for ID they will run it and find the incident... from then it'd just be a matter of what the political/financial lanscape at the time was, and if the officer was in a good mood.

He has to stop at the boarder, which is pretty much the same as being pulled over. I remember having both my passport, & my GF's passport asked for when we were coming back into Washington from Nelson, BC.... And at the time we were both WA state residents. I don't remember having any trouble getting into canada tho. Maybe it's easier to leave your country than it is to get back into your home country... make sure you're not smuggling stuff back... I dunno.

I'd call up the city and see what can be done, if they can lower the cost a bit if you send them a check.

New Zealand boarder police do the same here ,
if you try and leave the country with outstanding fines ,
you are arrested, removed from the plane boarding area
and taken directly top holding cells , for a court appearance .
they do exactly the same thing when you are entering the country as well .
people are slowly learnning you break the law you must pay .
