It won't be too long before the realization hits that the more things that are illegal with fines attached, the more revenue generation it will produce. Heck, I've said for a LONG time that eventually citizens of the USA (home of the free, land of the brave...  ) will be issued a pamphlet on their 18th birthday that will itemize EVERYTHING that is legal to do. If it is not in that pamphlet, then it is ILLEGAL. I don't expect that pamphlet to be very large to begin with, and it will shrink from "updates" often.... |
I think you're overdramatizing the current political issues surrounding our communities and our country.
"Law Enforcement" is not about "revenue generation."
"Traffic Enforcement" on the other hand, is becoming moreso by the day!
I've said it before and will continue to say it.
If we cared about safety, there's a better way to accomplish it without writing boatloads of Charlie Foxtrot tickets at $200.00 + per shot!
Cameras, radar, highly publicised notices of same, heavy point assessments and restrictions/revocations.
That's just the start.
**** can the driving schools for anything over a 10+ over the speed limit violation!
Dump the judges/magistrates ability to withhold and turn traffic court into a real court and not the kangaroo court it is at present.
Once people realize, hey, if I do such and such, I'm going to lose my license, then the ones that relly are concerned will get thier stuff together
Those that don't give a damned, can be dealt with accordingly
There's too much to discuss and I have too much work to do.
It's all in one of my old archived posts on the matter somewhere on here.
