yeah i found that type shit out the hard way.
got pulled like 4 times in a month for registration. Finally went "ok fuck this" and got my car registered. Took the tickets to the clerk of the court, said "ok, its registered, can i get these tickets waived?"
"sure, no problem, let me just remove them"
"thanks!"
fast forward to 3 months later
get pulled at a traffic stop, no biggie, I wasn't visibly drunk, guy ran my license.
"sir, i'm going to need you to step out of the car"
"what"
"you have 10 failure to appear in court charges"
"what"
I get handcuffed, spend 13 hours in a holding cell. Turns out, the clerk fucked up, and missed entering one of the tickets.
THANKS BRO, now i get to pay 180 dollars to get my fucking car out of impound, along with 300 to a lawyer to get me out of trouble. (lawyer was cheap, it took them like 20 seconds to explain what happened).
moral of the story, make sure your shit is cleaaaaan
