Well made point Rhertz. I would love to know what those 34 tickets were for.

Only the government can come up empty handed and still call the results a huge success. Free enterprise sure doesn't work that way. I guess what they mean by "huge success" is writing more ticket$ without having to work as hard to write them.

Why not setup 50 of these stations all over town and when a real crime occurs such as an armed robbery or Amber alert, then they would type the plate into the system and wait for the tags to surface. Now that might be worth the intrusion. |

Why would police using this device to issue tickets bother you?
Also, if it "pays for itself in no time" then how is it expensive? |

I know I pay 33% due to being a business owner sucks for sure but i am a small business owner i'm not microsoft who is very wealthy not just sitting comfortable. What do you feel is rich and what do you think they pay? I know rich people get too many tax breaks that the middle class picks up.

Government just gets more and more intrusive by the damn day. They just keep pushin and pushin...if the bastards aint careful they're gonna end up pushin this country into a revolution. I hope they do. Things'll have to get worse before they can get better, and we're all ready for it to get better. They're skatin on thin ice.

As for the expense of the thing, good point. I will respond with two points. If it pays for itself in no time, then I the taxpayer am the investor, but with no vote on the matter. Second would be the faulty design precept. (intend to find stolen cars but really intended to generate revenue thru ticketing of much smaller offenses) |
