I&#x27;d like to point out that the Texas law cited allows on-the-spot collection of fines to extinguish existent warrants [0]. That is, without this law, the options would formally be &quot;be detained&quot; and &quot;be detained&quot; [1]. This is strictly providing <i>additional</i> options.<p>[0] The name used by the EFF is accurate but somewhat incomplete; these would be <i>capias pro fine</i>, which is a specific subset related to failing to comply with judgements.<p>[1] I won&#x27;t indulge the EFF&#x27;s language of Monopoly-style &quot;go to jail&quot; here, as that&#x27;s a pretty loose interpretation. You will be detained to appear before a judge in order to plead your case.
