Meh if I owed 20,000+ in fines I'd just go an get PD and get them wiped - It works for a whole lot of other losers out there.

does that mean you want to be a loser like them ???

Ive got reparations owing to me from 6 years ago. Ive only seen a couple of cheques from the court of about $10 each. If I had known the person was going to get off so lightly I would have preferred he went to jail, or had PD. At a cost to the state of course. With a criminal record like his I doubt international travel was an option anyway.
I dont think this will catch many more people than they do now, Its always been common knowledge that you could be stopped at the airport for unpaid fines. Its scare tactics to make joe bloggs go pay that 6 month old parking ticket he was trying to get out of.
