For Failure to Pay Fines.
Relating to having a Muffler that was too loud.
Or...having no Muffler at all.
I forget. Its been about 24 years.
Cops banged on the door and I managed to convince them that I wasn't the guy they were looking for, said that guy had split without paying Rent, that I was looking for him too. Asked them if when they found him if it would be alright if I came to the Jail to try and get The rent from him.
I couldn't believe they bought it cuz...I was surprised to see them at the door and I know that showed in my face plus I felt I sounded nowhere near convincing....with my tone and intonation, like, the way I talked.
Them just walking away actually was not a thing I considered a real possible outcome so I was just "taking my best shot", like, going through the motions really in telling that story.
But they did. Told me if he comes back or you see him somewhere tell him he has to take care of this cuz its not going away.
Then they hung a big bright Fluorescent Green door hanger on my outside doorknob that said
And I was afraid to take it off.
For about an hour.
I was afraid they were watching somewhere and if I removed it they would come back.
And I needed to go to Work, like, right then...to not be late.
It was quite an ordeal.

Exactly.
Any "offense". My Noisy Muffler, whatever you got....your refusal to remove that Felled Tree that was Just Another Brick In The Wall of War 'tween you and your HOA, whatever your Warrant is for or what other guy's warrants was for...
1.) "Who" amongst us is possessing of Attributes worthy of them being a Judge and deciding what qualifies as an "Offense". We are al born naked Babies here. I maintain that there is nothing possible which could come after that which would qualify any man (or woman) to become "above" another thus able to decide what behavior is acceptable or not.
example: Who decided my Muffler was "Too Loud"? Was there, at some point, a determination that a specific level of Loudness should not be surpassed? If so...what was this determination based upon? In the end seems to me it had to be based upon some guy's opinion. Who the hell is this guy and what qualifies him to sit in judgement of me? What are this guy's qualifications to determine what level of Loudness from a Muffler is acceptable or not?
2.) What does "money" have to do with it? Or any Offense?
If I get caught urinating in public (or commit any other "offense") I get locked in a cage for a while and then someone demands that I give them money.
How does giving them money make it "all better" as though them getting money is some sort of Band-Aid or...."Medicine" that rectifies the problem, wipes from the slate the offense?
Where did people pee before there were all these buildings everywhere?
Where I peed was still the same place as where they peed just some people built a building there at some point. So now suddenly all the rules are changed just because some people built a building there so now its no longer acceptable to take a pee in that spot?
How is people's need to urinate less valuable than those people's need to have that building there?
Money. Like You said.
Its no Mystery.
In Ohio 95% of the Traffic Stops made on the Interstate on the major drug trafficking thoroughfare are in the SOUTHbound Lanes.
The Drugs come in from the South so the actual Drugs are in vehicles on the other side of the Freeways.
These are ignored, the drugs are allowed to get to their detonations and the Mules are allowed to get their $$$$.
Then those Mules with their money....
....they have to head back South.
Using those Southbound Lanes.
With that $$$$ they got from selling those Drugs.
Laws and Law Enforcement are a For Profit Enterprise, a Business.
I used to get thrown in Jail all the time, in Indianapolis. Wasn't any big deal...Drunk In Public, Trespassing, Ran out the back door with an aluminum tray of Fried Chicken from some Gathering Downtown....cops chased me down after I had passed of the tray of chicken to my gf so they caught me but she made it home with the chicken.
I would not want to go to jail in Indy now.
100% due to the exact thing you describe.
