My point was, why go to the trouble of gaining entry to the tower and dragging him off console for a traffic ticket?
That wasn't why he was dragged off, LXGB. He was dragged off for non-payment of a fine. Much more serious. OTT? Maybe, maybe not, but if you ignore a court's ruling, then you need to be prepared for the worst. My guess is this is going to cost him an awful lot more than a minor motoring fine.
