This Should Be Worth Some Commentary on the Part of the Episcopal Church's Social Justice Folks

Alas, that's not the case.  I think I know why not, but that would be mere speculation on my part.

Bloomberg Media:
The problem with using your police force as a stealth tax-collection agency is that this functions as a highly regressive tax on people who are already having a hard time of things. Financially marginal people who can't afford to, say, renew their auto registration get caught up in a cascading nightmare of fees piled upon fees that often ends in bench warrants and nights spent in jail ... not for posing a threat to the public order, but for lacking the ready funds to legally operate a motor vehicle in our car-dependent society.
