    (Non american here) could you even get out of paying? I imagine refusing to pay for months would get you thrown in jail, re-fined or have your license taken away. And once you finally are proven innocent getting any money back from a beurocracy is slightly harder than getting blood from a stone.

      You misunderstand, you’re paying to get the unjust arrest struck from your police record so it doesn’t fuck you when trying to get hired places.
