Summons To An Accused Person

That's how the letter was titled. And it goes on to say...

Whereas your attendance is necessary to answer to a charge of:

You, ________________ of __________________ Road, being the driver
of Motor Vehicle ____________ did on 7th April 2006 at or about 11:00 am at
Handy Road Car Park display three (3) $1.00 coupons that has irregularities
therein indicating that the coupons have been tampered with, thereby
committed an offence under Rule 12 of the Parking Places (Coupon Parking)
Rules and punishable under Section 16 of the Parking Places Act (Notice No.
____________ dated 10th April 2006)

You are hereby required to appear on the ___ June 2006 at 06:00 pm in
person before The Subordinate Court No. ___ at Singapore and you are hereby
warned that if you shall, without just excuse, neglect or refuse to appear on
the said date, a warrant will be issued to compel your attendance.

Imagine receiving the letter in April and having to attend Court 2 months later. The 2 long months of suffering and waiting will definitely make the Accused feel so extremely guilty that he/she would swear never ever repeat the same crime ever again!!! A definite deterrent!
