I would pay - because arguing with the government is masochism. I'm not going to risk getting ####ed in the ass over $30. Was probably an honest mistake on the police officer's part anyway.

This is how the government works. They find out everything - it just might not happen for several years or so. This is a combination of beuracracy, incompetance and incompetance that leads to it taking so long. I would pay it (because I should've known better) and the only thing that irritates me is the ridiculous penalties for non-compliance (suspending license for several months or suspending registration for several months or whatever).
