It's really a little more complicated than that when the people you're arguing with all are residents, are probably all friends in that area, the landowner is probably a big taxpayer and may have even donated money to one or more of the officials during an election period, etc. Most NRs would probably just pay a ticket because it would cost a fortune if they were to plead not guilty and take it to court. Do you know how easy it is for them to keep delaying each stage/procedure when you show up thinking it will only take one trip to plead and finish your case? There are preliminary hearings, pretrial conferences, etc., before the actual trial itself and at each of those stages there is a big chance that you would show up and the opposition would ask for a delay for some reason and it would probably be granted.
