This time, it's to extort money from family members if they can't get it
from the person who violated the law.

"SINCE NOVEMBER, Edward Stanley Harris has been paying Philadelphia
Traffic Court $100 per month on a bill of $1,811.50 for tickets issued 17
years ago - which the court has admitted aren't even his."
He's paying them off because, he says, a Traffic Court judge said he'd
arrest him if he didn't."

Well I was restricting myself to the 'western' world. However even 20th
century history has examples of tyrannies where entire families were
executed for the political acts of a single family member. Although the
more common case, as in China, USSR, etc is that the family member
accused simply disappears. (now possible in the USA under the military
commissions act)
