Indiana does this deferred thing frequently.  The State still gets 
some money, but most stays in the County.  The best is when you are 
issued a city citation.  speeding must have been on a city street.
this city must have a city court.  There the fines are a whole 
lot less and the citation or your money, never leaves the city!

It is all about money...

for over 15 years)
