    Bon alors vu que ca semble etre un sujet recurrent sur AA voici les regulations prises en terme de recouvrement au Qld (on peut assumer que le systeme est sensiblement identique ailleurs)

    Paying overdue fines
    The State Penalties Enforcement Registry (SPER) is responsible for the collection and enforcement of unpaid fines in Queensland.

    SPER started operating on 27 November 2000 under the State Penalties Enforcement Act 1999 and the State Penalties Enforcement Regulation 2000.

    SPER collects overdue fines for offences such as speeding, failure to wear a seatbelt and running a red light. It also collects unpaid fines for parking infringements mainly from local councils, money owed for court orders for failure to pay fines, forfeited bails and bonds and compensation awarded to victims of less serious crime.

    When the registry started in November 2000 a four-month amnesty was also launched which resulted in all warrants for the arrest or imprisonment of fine defaulters being withdrawn by police and no new warrants issued.

    This amnesty also allowed fine defaulters to pay their outstanding fines less the $68 warrant fee. This amnesty was then extended another three months to 30 June 2001.

    The main aims of the State Penalty Enforcement Registry are to:

    Collect outstanding fines

    Make payment of fines easier. People who have received an infringement notice can now make full payments, part payments and instalments at many locations using a variety of payment methods including direct debit, credit card, post or in person.

    Streamline the collection process

    Crack down on fine dodgers. Repeat defaulters will no longer be able to prolong or avoid payment, SPER has the power to garnishee wages, seize and sell assets and suspend a person driver’s licence if the fine is vehicle related.

    Keep fine defaulters out of jail. Defaulters are given every opportunity to pay rather than be arrested.

    Remove loopholes in the fine collection system. Fine option orders will no longer be offered to people who are financially capable of paying their fines. Under the old system defaulters would accept a fine order option to perform community service instead of paying the fine—and then fail to actually do it. The court system would then have to start pursuing them all over again.

    Make community service for the genuinely needy only—fine option orders to complete community service will only be offered to people who can prove they are experiencing financial difficulties.

    Help victims of crime by collecting outstanding compensation and restitution orders because of fine defaulters.
