Yeah, but it’s not a racially discriminatory system. ALL citizens are subject to it. Heck, the non-’black’ citizens are more likely to be targeted since they are more likely to have more ready money LOL!

I think it’s good to collect law enforcement costs from law breakers than the law abiding, though it can go too far.

A friend’s young relative got in trouble with the law and was very perplexed at my statement: “Well, at least you’re keeping my property taxes down!”

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.” ― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
