“Pray America wakes up”
I was pulled over by an out of jurisdiction city cop back when 55 mph was operative. I was discretely following him above the limit when he suddenly backed off and pulled me over. During our discussion as to why it was o.k. for him to be breaking the law (he was returning from the county jail where he had deposited a prisoner and I was on my way to work), he said “well you can tell it to the judge.” So I asked him if he knew where his chief lived?” While he was pondering an answer, I told him that while I would surely speak with the judge, he was going to have to talk to his chief who happened to be one of my neighbors and a good friend. His response was to hand me back my license and say “have a nice day.”
So i wonder how many people this guy routinely screwed over who don’t have the leverage that you enjoyed?
It shouldn’t even be possible. But we have ceded so much power to the State that it is possible and routine. A petty tyranny that most pretend doesn’t happen.
If you had “told it to the judge” you would have to pay the fine because fines fund judges salaries. That to me is an unbelievable practice. Yet a routine practice. Why do “we” tolerate a petty tyranny under our noses? I don’t get it.
De-fund. your county and city when you can. Bond issues, sales taxes and extensions are our only opportunity. Force government to re-think how they fund city hall. Don’t participate in petty tyranny since you know the truth. They are stealing under color of law. We all know it. Yet most condone and support the corruption. Why?
