And according to my wife (who works for the state police) "nor is the
ticket closed without the financials being complete"

WHich means, you toss the check and you are considered not to have payed
at all. Next time you get pulled over, when they look you up, there will
be a warrant out for you and instead of a ticket, you go for a ride
downtown.

Unless the ticket is HUGE, pay it (correctly!).
If you think you were not in the wrong, fight it. Thats why we have a
judicial system.

All in all, tickets arent worth even worrying about, so why not just pay
the damn things...
