service. The really big issue is finding the fine. They are sold to collection agencies who can then resell them over and over and over. Trying to trace one that is 10 years old becomes impossible. That was the biggest gripe. It’s not just a poll tax it’s a poll tax it’s next to possible to find so how can you possibly pay it.
