It's a legal tactic used in many minor offenses as part of a "bargain" to get people to follow through with treatment, rehab, ect... . In AR it can even be used in traffic court with the stipulation you get no citations of any sort for a certain period of time, usually 1 year. If you have had an offense in the previous year you are ineligible. They don't advertise it and since it's traffic court most people just pay the ticket. A friend of mine that is a warrant officer let me in on it long ago. Saves on the ticket, but more importantly the potential insurance increase.
