I don't see a problem with this.

bashfulbro, Apr 24, 12:44am
Great Idea.

Yea, pay your fines to the state first. Nothing wrong with that.

kazbanz, Apr 24, 1:05am
I see the boy racer set all over the land wailing and tearing their hair out at the way "the man" can take their cars off them and sell them to pay their thousands in outstanding fines . ANDhow its "so unfair" that no finance company will lend them money to finance the cars that got them the fines in the first place.

sensible, unusual from any govt, but welcome

You are absolutely correct intrade. Most of us tucked away down here don't realise what a dire state the Western World (economically) is in.

Hooray. Sounds good.

Time some people find out about something simple, a reality called consequences. Pay your fines!

Behave yerself and you won't get into trouble! Simple really

tonyrockyhorror, Apr 24, 4:19am
Or the finance company will simple put a loading on the interest rate, those that are affected will be unable to pay and will turn to further to crime to try an keep their heads above water. And if they get caught it'll be yet another taxpayer burden to convict and sentence them.

I predict it's not going to have the effect people think it will.

tonyrockyhorror, Apr 24, 4:20am
Or more accurately, done be accused of 'misbehaving' yourself or it might cost you everything. And then the government has you exactly where they want you. just like the Syrians.

kazbanz, Apr 24, 4:26am
NOPE--whey you get CAUGHT misbehaving. By the current NZ definition of the law either MAN UP and pay the fine Or MAN UPand take the cops to court if you feel you are wrongly accused.
Accept the concequences of your actions.The law change wouldn't even have been concidered if apart of society weren't of the view. "you can't touch me"
