All of you missed the point : He was offered to pay a fine, but
he turned down the offer !!! That means the case would be fought in
Court, and he would be an Accused Person Vs the State.
The Accused would need be charged in Court, and his fingerprints/
photos taken and would be registered with the Criminal Records
Office.
If he is subsequently convicted by the Court, the conviction would
be a Criminal Record, even if the offence was a traffic
offence.
So, please pay your traffic fines........even if you feel wronged.
It is better to pay and following this, write in to explain. If you
ignore a traffic summons, you can be ARRESTED, HANDCUFFED and
treated as a CRIMINAL if the Court issues a Warrant-of -Arrest
against you for not paying your fine and not turning up in
court.
