California will do a lot more than deny a renewal over unpaid fines. First they'll double the fine the first day that you are late, and then they'll add more fees every day until it is paid. Eventually, I think it's after six months or a year, they'll suspend your driver's license, and after that they'll issue a bench warrant for your arrest. So it's entirely possible for your whole life to be ruined over a traffic ticket in California, culminating with you being thrown into prison.
ok, but while that is wild in itself, i assume that is under the assumption of them actually being your tickets. here we talk about situation where they demand the hero pays someone else's tickets just because of the fault of their system.
That aligns perfectly from what I've seen from the California DMV. They do not give a fuck. They will do whatever their stupid little antiquated computer program tells them to do.
