"I have asked cops here in Phoenix and they told me not to pay them."

Good luck with that. Imagine the 'nice' suprise when you find out that your license has been suspended for unpaid moving violations. Pleading ignorance will not work & the fines and interest have piled up. The icing on the cake will be that your insurance company found out your license was suspended and also suspended your insurance so now you have to pay uninsured motorist fees.

The above happened to someone I knew. I'm not sure how much of it he was able to get out of.
