The guy that was made to pay at the airport was not from running up parking tickets etc but because he wasn't paying money to his victim (can't remember what its called). Interesting that he paid the money and then went on his way so his victim will be getting some money and if they didn't have the new law in place then he'd of kept travelling and the victim would be no better off.

Reparation....thats what it was...becomes a court fine when it is unpaid but is basically a fine to pay to the victims of the crime...
Yes you will find most dodgers have the money or the means to pay (some or via AP weekly) cause if you are on a benefit they can link to you anyway!

The minimum limit to be stopped from travelling is like $5000 anyway, which as someone else pointed out is a lot of fines.
I had a heap of fines as a teenager from driving unregistered unwarranted cars but they were still nowhere near $5K. Considering the average speeding ticket etc. is less than say $200, plus court costs of up to another $200, you'd have to rack up a lot of fines to get to 5k.
My brother on the other hand crashed into a police car and got a $7000 court reparation order, so I guess he might have a problem...

Yep. He is such a clown. They pulled him up, so he pulled over and they pulled in front of him and he got out of the car but left it in neutral and it rolled forward. It seems the flash reflective paint on those cop cars is pretty pricey tho - the repairs were really expensive and he got ordered to pay!

yeah Dh (he who buries head in sand) copped a $200 speed ticket, then court costs then ignored it and when i discovered it was $800 - could have killed him
Think boy racers who were 20 - 25 5 years ago tho and that is who has the BIG fines....they will regret those ones...most of them look at $500 - $1000 per fine...
Also dispute tribunal ones not paid count too....and they can be up to $7500 a pop....
OUCH!

Thats not that bad then Rach. Once it is under $5000 then you can def go away overseas. I heard on the news that when the fines are between $1000 and $5000 an alert is sent to some department to say they have gone overseas.
