A spot fine is not where you get to pay the fine on the spot (that type of "spot fine" you are referring to is not a fine but 99% of the time a bribe). A spot fine by definition is where you are charged for the infraction on the spot and the fine determined (i.e. without having to appear at court). So the police officers take your licence away from you on the spot until you pay the fine and show evidence as such. Over various times they did try to introduce systems to reduce the time taken to actually pay the fine but none were successful as they lead way to corruption...right now there are certain post offices that have fine payment available outside of normal business hours so you can expedite the process.
A few months ago the Police were planning on introducing mobile payment system. No idea what the status of that is.
