      …and the defendant is charged with failure to appear. Fines are added, penalties are upped. A warrant is issued. Rinse. Repeat. Eventually, the heat gets too hot and the defendant slips up. They end up spending a lot of time in jail instead of a small fine. This method has the potential to radically reduce the number of SovCits.
