Apparently they threatened not to let people go until they paid their fines (for speeding) and then charging an additional 5-10% for using a credit card. As if people routinely travel around with a couple of hundred bucks in their pockets.

My thoughts too. Odd they want cash to let bums out of jail but will quickly swipe a card from Mr and Mrs Clean Cut American for a broken tail light. I guarantee the amount of tickets will greatly increase simply because of the income it will generate.

I believe the problem abated somewhat in 2002-2003 because a lot of the oil companies were complaining that their employees were getting tickets for 2mph over the speed limit etc.
