12??!! That's incredible. I would think the state would come after you long before that. Of course, it used to be a much bigger deal to get a ticket than it is today. 20 years ago, if you got a ticket, you probably did something to really deserve it. Not so much today...
Maybe we are becoming like the U.K., in that so many of their citizens have tickets (mostly photo radar) on their records that it just really doesn't mean much anymore. As a matter of fact, so many just ignore them, they tried to declare a "ticket amnesty" period where one could pay old tickets without additional late fines. Turns out no one did that, either.
On that note, I wonder how long it would take our system to collapse under its own weight if no one mailed their tickets in, if everyone just threw them away when they got home. My bet is less than a week before the whole damn thing imploded.
