they also intimate that as part of Mags sentencing UTCNS are still payable...[which is a blatant untruth as UTCs are not relevent in mags]

I suspect the difference is that the toll charges have a statutory basis (I assume) and it’s not just a bribe not to prosecute.

Alternative to prosecution

We may offer you a warning (on condition of payment of the unpaid toll notice charges) as an alternative to prosecution.

If a warning is offered, this will be confirmed in writing and the person can avoid prosecution by complying with one of the following conditions:

a) Pay the unpaid toll charges in full, OR

a) Set up a payment scheme and pay agreed minimum amounts within the time periods specified.

If a warning is offered and the conditions are not met then we will continue with our investigation, which could lead to you being prosecuted.

I'm pretty sure that if I started writing to people demanding money in exchange for not prosecuting them, I could end up in a spot of bother? Can a prosecutor, absent statutory authority, accept a cash payment in exchange for not bringing proceedings?
