Perhaps another way to ensure that these evil cops enforcing laws don't bother you would be for you to go the speed limit. I wonder if you just steal a little from a store , if that is ok too?Evans Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00195918884589261805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214951.post-48529193967400438992012-08-28T15:02:51.731-05:002012-08-28T15:02:51.731-05:00If cops were more interested in safety than revenu...If cops were more interested in safety than revenue, they'd park their cars in plain sight to remind ALL drivers to slow down. Instead they hide and only convert one driver at a time. <br /><br />It is literally highway robbery.

I called and they changed my ticket to a non-moving violation for the final price of $271. <br /><br />$271 is a ridiculous fine for 11 over, much less a non-moving violation. <br /><br />The root of the problem is that revenue for law enforcement is directly tied to the number of people they catch breaking the law, a system which encourages officers to see the citizens they swore to protect as cash cows. <br /><br />Law enforcement is no longer about keeping the peace, but about securing enough funds at gunpoint to continue unjustly increasing salaries, benefits, and pensions which few in the private sector enjoy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
