UK: Text Messages Warn Offenders to Pay Fines

Via The BBC.

Text messages saying 'pay up or get locked up' could soon be used in England and Wales to get offenders to settle unpaid court fines.

The scheme could be introduced nationally following a successful pilot project in Staffordshire.

Some 150 texts were sent, with three quarters of recipients then paying up.
