I suggested eliminating fines and court costs associated with a traffic citation and just rely on license demerit points as the penalty for a traffic violation.

I suggested eliminating fines and court costs associated with a traffic citation and just rely on license demerit points as the penalty for a traffic violation. Once a diver accumulates enough demerit points on their license, it's suspended. If they're caught driving on a suspended license, then they're arrested and taken to jail pending a hearing. I strongly suspect that without the possibility of making money from traffic violations, most law enforcement agencies wouldn't bother doing any enforcement.
