  I am embarrassed and extremely disappointed. Asked for some help from these officers and left feeling like we were just an annoyance. Very sad day! I am a white woman with not even a scratch on her record . Thanks detectives for your support of making us feel like a problem you don't want to deal with.

  Traffic tickets are a multi-billion industry. They have virtually nothing to do with highway safety, but they have everything to do with money. They pass enough laws so that anybody can be stopped at anytime and be given a ticket for a traffic violation. Trivial or concocted traffic law violations are also frequently used as an excuse to stop, detain, and search persons for whom the police have no other legitimate reason to do so. When most times the police stopping someone becomes more of a safety hazard to the general public, than the hazard they are claiming the driver violated. In no other industry would you be allowed to address a minor safety condition by creating a larger one. No longer is it serve and protect, they serve and collect. Blow out of proportion the effects of various traffic violations. They constantly talk about “carnage” on our roads, despite the fact that we have the lowest level of traffic fatalities in history. Maintain a public relations campaign that claims traffic tickets are only given to bad drivers, and that these drivers should pay for the cost of enforcement. This is how you make it appear logical that the police and courts are funded through traffic ticket receipts.No court or police department should directly benefit from the collection of traffic fines. No police department should be permitted to rate its officers based on how many tickets they write. No local government should retain traffic fines. The money collected in local courts should be transferred to the state and returned via a local aid formula based on population. Keep the ticket prices below the pain threshold that would compel motorists to aggressively contest traffic citations in court. They know that if fines got too high, motorist would fight heir tickets, and trials eat up all the profit. So they keep the fines low, but add cost, surcharges, fees, and e.m.s charges to your fine. Taking a $25.00 fine and turning it in to a $128.50 ticket. Plus by adding a $8.00 fee to fight your ticket in the state of PA, you are less likely to challenge that ticket. Remove as many due process protections for traffic law offenders as is politically possible. This not only further discourages people from contesting their tickets, but it also ensures that those that do will have a much more difficult time defending themselves. When going though the courts the only response you get is the black and white text of the law. The police enforce laws that result in direct benefits to police agencies and personnel. Judges hear cases in which a “guilty” verdict would have tangible financially rewards for the court and courthouse personnel. No other class of “crime” is as profitable for state and local governments as is that of traffic tickets. Traffic courts cannot be fair and unbiased when their financial welfare depends on traffic fines. Additionally, local government encourage traffic enforcement practices that finance local government services and to reward government employees and officers. Under the false flag of safety, they have created a large tax that needs no accountability. Yet these hypocrisies go largely unnoticed. Fight your traffic ticket, you are the people. The cops, judges, mayors, etc. work for you, and are accountable for their actions. The government owns nothing, the People own it. If know history then you know that this has been done by every empire that is no longer for the people, but for the money. Please don't assume we have evolved past this thinking, once power isn't challenged, it will always become corrupted.
