Comments for Speeding Tickets Are About Money, Not Safety at http://www.orthodoxbiz.com , comment 1 to 4 out of 4 comments http://www.orthodoxbiz.com Mon, 06 Sep 2010 10:48:29 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.orthodoxbiz.com/20090415367/business/speeding-tickets-are-about-money-not-safety.html#comment-279 I've been getting nailed for years and have always understood it to be all about revenue. The disingenuos cops always say "slow down, now" "be safe". Total b.s. like they just did you a favor. Yesterday I got pulled over from the left lane of a 5 lane highway during rush hour. I perilously had to cross 4 lanes of traffic to park on a small shoulder with cars racing by. This dangerous act of pulling me over by the highway patrol was outrageous. "Be careful now, watch your speed." Whatever. - Okie Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:13:21 +0100 http://www.orthodoxbiz.com/20090415367/business/speeding-tickets-are-about-money-not-safety.html#comment-225 This ticket game is happening all over the US. Its the new and improved way of bringing in the bucks to pay their salaries. They get a cut in salary if they dont do this. Recently in Spruce Pine NC, I was on my way to get my new registration. I had my paperwork in hand. I hadnt driven the car in some time because I had been sick and in the hospital. I got stopped for late registration of almost a month. I showed him paperwork in hand and explained I had been in hospital. That meant nothing to him. He gave me $150. ticket. I told him I was ashamed of him because he was not being judicious. Where was his ablility to think. Since then I have heard from his friends that he never gives them a ticket for anything, so there you go. Double Standard and no ability to care or be judicious. I think these people have forgotten justice is a part of law enforcment. I am sure they can come up with a rebuttle that is legal but it will never be kind or thougtful and that is an important factor in justice. It cannot and does not stand without it. - meg rogers Mon, 18 May 2009 10:09:44 +0100 http://www.orthodoxbiz.com/20090415367/business/speeding-tickets-are-about-money-not-safety.html#comment-220 Amen brother. Now stay tuned in to this issue and keep talking about it. It's a nationwide problem, not just limited to a couple of small towns. - Albany Lawyer Sun, 19 Apr 2009 19:13:40 +0100 http://www.orthodoxbiz.com/20090415367/business/speeding-tickets-are-about-money-not-safety.html#comment-219 Sad part is you just noticed. This has been going on for many years. People eat up the "tough on crime" rhetoric until it hits them or their kids. Make sure you keep paying attention and keep talking about it! - Albany Lawyer Sun, 19 Apr 2009 19:12:17 +0100
