My driver stopped at a Oklahoma weight station and was issued a citation for not having the current (2021) IFTA paperwork and UCR in the truck. We were told the fine had to be paid before he could leave. If he was issued a citation why would we have to pay the fine before he could leave? Wouldn't we have to go to court? I have the current IFTA but the "inspector" at the station said it wouldn't matter we still have to pay the fine before they would release my truck and driver? Is this correct/normal?
Paying fine before allowed to leave

IFTA DECALS
You’re supposed to have a grace period as long as you were in good standing with the base state and filed for 2021 before 1/1/21.

Most likely you are not paying a fine. You are paying a bond to make sure you show up to court.
