BC really that hard up for money?

There seems to be a rash of these types of things going around.

I went to renew my license in April and was told that I had an unpaid $450 speeding ticket from 1996 and was required to pay before I could renew. I was 12 years old at the time, plus it was the summer my leg was in an ankle to thigh brace.

I had to go and get my passport, birth certificate, and a witness to sign forms at the registry for them to fix their rather grevious error. It took them 3 weeks to get it fixed before I could renew my license. They acted like I was the one in the wrong.
