There is the difference. The offender that has fines due find their way to the Department of Motor Vehicles. The apprehension is accomplished by the very own that has fines due! That is the beauty of it. I have seen folks denied a renewal of license or registering their vehicle for something as simple as overdue parking ticket. There is a line from a movie I often quote, "The Lord Giveth and the DMV taketh away." The title is "License to Drive". Heck, the DMV will deny a renewal if a vehicle does not have it's emissions checked. I think the Victim Compensation deal in the UK could utilize this system to good effect.
