Don't actually do this. You can get your license suspended (or worse) even if you never go back to the town that gave you the ticket.

Step 1: Declare yourself a sovereign citizen
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Straight to jail?
In jail, you wont need to pay taxes
Taxes won't matter when you are doing slave labor.
It depends on the laws in the state/county/city. In the worst case scenario, you could serve jail time. In the best case scenario, you stay away from that town and nothing happens. In the medium case scenario, the municipality sends it to collections where you'll then be harassed and/or dinged on your credit report.
It depends on the laws in the country, I very much doubt mine are the same as yours
OK but what about that shitty mall that charges for parking and gives private parking tickets?
I didn't pay a couple of private tickets, over ten years passed, and so far I have been fine, but I'm not a lawyer...
You inspired me to do a little research on my local shitty mall and it turns out they didn't get city permission for their little scheme, so all they can do is send you demands for payment, and if you get a bunch of fake tickets in 12 months they can threaten to tow.
Since I go there only a couple of times a year, sounds like I get free parking.
I'd only be worried if they were willing to send it to collections, that can hit your credit. Even a small thing can fuck up your credit
They don’t have your SSN. How are they going to report it?
Even if they learn the registered owner, doesn’t prove who got the “ticket” and unlike a real ticket they can’t hold it over you with the DMV.
Was just calling out something to think about at least
Interesting. What country is that?
Here (USA) I think if a mall tried that it would be suicide. They are already struggling to get enough customers against online shopping and many malls and some major retail stores are going out of business.
This is why I will never drive in the state of Missouri again. Well it was a speeding ticket, but whatever.
I got pulled over in Missouri years ago.
2am, going like 95 on some highway or interstate or other. Hadn’t seen another car in hours, and had been driving since like 5pm.
Get pulled over, cop asks where I’m headed. “Houston.” “Missouri?” “Oh, I didn’t know there was one, neat, no the one in Texas.”
Give my license (Texas) and registration (Wisconsin), and explain I’ve just moved back to my home state, hence the interstate papers, and am headed down with a friend to get my belongings from storage. He goes and runs my info, and it’s clean all the way down, as this is the first time I’d ever been pulled over, or really interacted with cops.
He comes back to the car and as he’s approaching, I can hear an all-hands call on his radio. There’s a heavily intoxicated woman throwing up in a Waffle House parking lot. Cop gets to my door, says “it’s your lucky day, I have to respond to an important incident, so maybe have your passenger drive for a while..”
So just a verbal warning and a mildly entertaining super-rural story. 8/10 would drive again.
I really don't blame you. All cops outside of Metro areas or established cities in Missouri are local blumpkins tasked with collecting tax revenue from outsiders. This is because all rural areas in the Midwest stagnated economically and socially 50+ years ago.
Metro and City cops are doing the same on a different scale. They tend to be high/drunk/running organized crime. So at least they're bootstrapping and living the American dream of working for themselves.
I think you mean "bumpkin" unless you are making a very odd accusation about the sexual proclivities of rural police.
Fuck the police.
Like literally or figuratively?.... I'm gonna need lots of lube. /s
I hear they confiscated a lot of baby oil recently so, they should supply their own.
Then the violence enthusiasts, I mean police, take forever to remove your plates and take your license, all while making the situation as unnecessarily intense as possible, and then just fucking leaving you in the side of the road, but not before noting to you that if you don't move your car somehow soon, they'll be back.
Fuck the police.
What?! Where I'm from the police will call a tow company, tow your vehicle and charge you extra for it (fees).
I remember when they added speeding fines to Elite: Dangerous and I purposely racked up several billion credits worth of speeding tickets in Federation space, on top of the billions of fines I had for dumping biowaste all over the mail slots of their stations. I was literally the most wanted pilot in some areas due entirely to speeding tickets.
And if you ever want to pay the fine, you have to stealth in or get blasted by defense turrets. They rather see you dead than get the fine paid
The way I do stealth is just being fast. They have to scan you first, so if you're fast enough they can't even do that. ;)
The last time I tried smuggling I was in a Type 9 and had huge issues with getting in, changed to a smaller frame and it went easier
Is that only city-wide in the US? Here in Europe we have international agreements..
