I went to court for eating a sandwich in the street. I'm pretty sure this could have happened.

Did you plead guilty? A lot of countries ask if you have ever been convicted of a crime and you'd have to answer yes to that question (no matter how ridiculous the 'crime')

I did, didn't want to go change my flight back to France and go to court, so I plaid guilty and sent 25$ by mail. Never received an answer so I did change my flight and went to court to be told that I had already paid and didn't need to be there.

My friend who was drinking went there without paying and they told him he could spend the afternoon in a "session" with other people and not pay the 25. He did it, it was mostly people sharing their experiences about how they got there.

One guy got into an argument with a cop so the cop convoked him for peeing in the street, another one had a restaurant and his table was too far on the sidewalk... stuff like that.
