However, there was one silver lining: if you paid your ticket in cash within 24 hours, it automatically "plea bargained" into a non-moving violation (at least, it did back around 2000).

I'm sure the city made a lot of money on these tickets...that's a good incentive to show up and pay fast. I got my ticket the first day I moved there and learned quickly to just sit there on red lights whenever I was driving downtown.
