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.
In the US just go over state lines and only get your tickets in rural nowhere towns and you're fine
Source: sister in law who, at one point, had outstanding tickets in I think it was 11 towns across 5 states with 3 warrants for her arrest due to not paying or showing up to court. The FBI would consider her way too small time a drunk driver even if the Podunk nowheresvilles she did it in ever reported her, so she only bothers to deal with them if she goes back for some reason
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?
Private parking tickets aren't generally enforceable in a court, but they can choose to tow or boot your vehicle if you park somewhere ride under their control.
I work at a university, and while the parking services department can't give you a real ticket enforceable by the court, they can withhold student records, diplomas, etc or withhold registration.
But tickets handed out by University police are different, since they're actually police and not parking attendants.
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.
Huh seems weird. Doesn't the US have extremely broad contract law that would make this a contract violation that can be legally enforced - including seizing your salary or bank account until the penalty is paid?
Over here you can park for free exactly once and successfully deny payment if you claim it was someone else who violated the contract. However, you can then be legally forced to sign a declaration that your vehicle will never park there again with significantly higher violation fees.
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.
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
