[VicTusDeuS]

Damn Place I work at was out of spots because of snow so I had to park on the street. It eneded up being considered private property because it was actually a driveway to someones business..Anyways, i got hit with a $50.00 ticket. What happens if i dont pay it???

You will eventually have a bench warrant issued for your arrest. When you finally get caught, you will have wished you payed it.

In Houston parking tickets are a big joke. The city has been begging for people to pay the tickets because nobody does. They threaten warrants, but unless you have 1000's in fines, it is not worth it to them. What are they going to do, put out 750,000 warrants and serve them all? Yeah right.

Around here, the fine first doubles.
Later a bench warrant is issued.
Later, a sheriff deputy posts a notice on your door they are coming back to arrest you.
At that point additional charges are tacked on to the fine, coming to something like $250.
Two weeks later you will be arrested.

yeah, my friend told me about a guy he knew, who didn't pay a $5 parking ticket, and three months later I believe, a swat team (?) arrested him in the middle of the night. They were said to have broken the front door, and point submachine guns at that dude. How stupid is that?

Nothing will probably happen, but good luck getting your vehicle tag renewed next year.

Isn't there some site you can check to see if you have parking tickets?

I thought all states were suppose to set one up so you can determine whether or not you owe anything. My ex got a parking ticket while using my vehicle and never told me. I didn't realize it until my tag came up.

Yeah i figured i could just act like i didnt know I had it....Or overpay with a check and hopefully they wont cash it- I read that somewhere.

in DC, they'll either tow your car if they find it, or put a boot on it.

Nice one, your always dogging my intelligence and you ask crap like this. Whatever.

 

[OXANDRIN]

i get them in NYC, i live in NJ and they send the fine to you if you go over the 30 days and they add a penalty.

I always carry a pair of bolt cutters in my trunk in case they try to put a boot on my wheel. That shit is totally illegal for them to do. I have cut several off on campus. They just used a cheap combination lock on it. I did return it to the Campus police late at night, set on the doorstep.

no way! i see kids at my school with them on their cars. what if they scratch your rims? i'd be pissed... you should get your own lock and put on on the campus security trucks that are parked outside the public safety office. see what they do then

Well, a warrant will be issued and the next time you get pulled over, off to jail for you. That $50.00 ticket is going to be a whole lot worse, and if you can't pay, they make you stay. Enjoy the ass pounding!!

 

[The Whole F/N Show]

It depends what city and state you are in. In Atlanta nothing. In NYC your license will suspended if you don't pay. At least that's what I experienced on both counts.

 

[biteme]

If you go past a year without paying, they will send govt. assassins after you.
