Ac is 100% right these municipal violations are out of control. The attitude of the laws the law your bad pay & obey is obviously coming from a world of no experience. Theres old grandmas doing jail time in private run jails over minor traffic tickets they simply couldnt pay. And most of these non moving violations are given out in low income areas. It falls under the “neighborhood improvent guise” if you think im full of shit let your tags expire and park in a poor area, then park the car in a nice area. See which gets ticked first. See bros the municipal system is a money machine gone crazy. Im all for capitalism but it has no place in criminal justice. The municipal system is now pretty much the buy here pay here car lot of the legal system. Or more like a payday loan spot. Becuase heres why
1)good ol officers who are infallible have quotas for violations
2) fines are higher now
3) private probation companies monitor folks with all kinds of extra fees, classes, ect & municipalities get a piece of the action. Best of all these companies for the most part make their own rules
4) my personal fav private detention centers (largely unregulated) pay municipalities for inmates. This is great for municipal system thats chalked full of broke people struggling pay inflated fines & fees. But its not debtors prison thats illegal right?
5) municipal prosecutors have a 90% conviction rate…seems high but in municpal court they often dont have jury trials just a judge trial. Combo that with a shitty public defender & dog shit plea deals and walla
This is whats commonly known as the “fuck barrel” so I hope you pretentious taints dont find your self in it. You will have a hard time serving 2 weeks in a private jail where you share a pod (12 dudes 1 toilet) & only eat bolgna sandwitches & kool aid over a minor infraction. I kinda dont think this is what George Washington had in mind. But what do I know im just a asshole
