If you have personally only broken a minor traffic law and you've been given a ticket, here's what I recommend you doing:

• Go to your nearest tribunal, they probably have a department where you can ask for your criminal record. Once they give it to you, you'll realise that it will come blank or list that you have no crimes on your record sheet.

That's because a random ticket is a civil offence. Civil offences are minor act that likely did not have criminal intent behind them.

• Now if you were Lionel Messi, if you would go to the Tribunal of Barcelona and asked for your criminal file sheet, it would come on the paper that you had been convicted on several counts of tax evasion.

That's because tax evasion is a major criminal offence against the State (Moreso systematic as is the case with Messi), robbing it of upwards of thousands of euros (Which, in Messi case, is apparently millions of euros).
