Fenton, population 226, brings in over $1 million per year through its mayor’s court, an unusual justice system in which the mayor can serve as judge even though he’s responsible for town finances.

It's also not true. You will get a bench warrant issued for skipping court, but the cops aren't hauling you inter-state for silliness like that.
What'll happen in most cases is that you skip the fine, skip the court date and the offended state asks your home state to invalidate your driver's license.
Dude I had a roommate get his ass hauled to jail over a missed parking ticket from Utah. He'd paid it, but the courthouse "forgot" to note that he had. Probably because he's Black and not mormon. Easy math there.
