You have to pay your ticket on the spot?! What is that all about? I don't venture much out the Continental United Southern States of America but as far as I know I don't think any state in the south has that kind of law. I could be wrong but that is a new one on me.
Basically, he was arrested, and didn't have the money for bail, so he needed to wait for bail to be posted.
Funny story. Last night, I was cruisin' around w/ my friend (just talking cars and enjoying the nice weather) and I got a flat tire. My rims are aluminum, so once I heard hissing, I pulled over immediately, and watched the tire deflate.
A sheriff pulled up behind me and asked me to pull the car off the road more, and I told him that I couldn't drive on the rim or else it would definately break. Unfortunately, it was the drivers side tire, and I was about 3 feet from being in the road.
Thankfully, he let me put my spare on w/o moving the car. I think that was the most adrenaline filled, quickest tire swap I have ever done.
Once I was back on the road, the road turned into a 4-lane road, and the sheriff pulled up next to me at a red light (no one in front of me). He rolled down his window, and asked me "Wanna race?"
My jaw dropped, as he smiled. My friend quickly retorted, "Is that a trick question?" All of us laughed, and we took off.
Once he turned off, I told my friend, "WHAT THE HELL!! He was in a big SUV.
I could have smoked his ass!!!!"
I don't think I would have the guts to race a cop, with permission or not. But it would have been funny, nevertheless.
