Unbeknownst to me I had been driving around on a suspended license for 6 months. The traffic ticket I had paid was never entered correctly. Apparently my hobbies include giving courthouses free money. I walked into court with a copy of the cancelled check. The clerk's record showed the receipt with a big PAID stamp on the digital copy.
If this happens to anyone, see if you can get permission to record it.
Did you do it?
heck no, had to go back and sit in court to get judge to proclaim things for them to put in form for me to sign.
