Out of sync, but:

Get some city employee to sign on a ticket that he left a copy on the 
windshield of a car that he claimed had a licence plate with the numbers 
issued for your vehicule. As you did not contest it in time and did not 
pay the penalty you are condemned to pay a larger amount.
To save money the authorities do not have to warn you as it is your duty 
to know the law and your legal obligations.
A warrant for your arrest is issued (because you are a fanatic who is 
obstructing laws!)
When they catch you, you stay in jail until you pay your debt (or when 
they get tired of hosting you).

Debtor prison ?
Unless a debt to society is defined as different from a common debt.

- you may be accused later for driving without a licence as your driver's 
licence has probably been suspended too.

NB: The authorities suspend the driver's licences of rogue fathers too.
What does it have to do with the ability to drive a car ?
