Holy Ticket Batman

[Kneale Brownson]

--
I can tell you that in Michigan, the judge commonly will issue a bench
warrant when you've ignored a ticket long enough.  Then, if they ever stop
you in the state again for ANYTHING, their in-car computer record will show
an outstanding warrant for your arrest ANY TIME in the future.  You'll go
to jail until the warrant is accounted for.  Doesn't matter what the
original police issue was about.  If there's a warrant issued, you go to jail.
