    You can be picked up and charged with a misdemeanor. Fines have to be attached to something like a license, in most cases the hitch hiker won't have a license or even an ID. How would they know who to write the fine out too?

    You can be arrested, but it depends on the state. I think california is a place where you could be arrested.
