I might be mistaken on this but I think they have the right to come take you shit if you don't pay up. Is that correct? I know it is possible when you win a small claims court case and the other party does not pay.

Lots of exemptions protect most of the people that get sued or do not take care of things they owe and end up getting chased for money owed. people worth chasing tend to just pay their bills or have a lawyer handle things for them.
all winning a claim in court is going to give you is a judgment that you then get filed and it sits around for ever and ever. because a judgment can be used to secure a lien on real property such as land or a house it make it difficult for somone to buy anything with a mortgage and if they own the lien has to be satisfied so eventually you might get paid.
This is a criminal court issue.
totally different.
You don't have to pay.
You can sit out the fines in jail instead!
