Tennesseans could be charged up to nearly $70 more for traffic tickets under a new state law that takes effect next month and is intended to fund crime lab services for law enforcement agencies.

So much for traffic laws being enacted for the safety of the public.

It is unethical for law enforcement to be responsible for paying for their jobs by ticket revenue.

On another note, here in Vancouver WA they are raising fees on building permits. Because there are fewer permit request due to the poor economy they are raising rates so they don't have to lay anyone off. So we are paying more so we can ensure these government employee can do less and be paid well for not doing it.

This weekend Memphis dispatched a SWAT Circus to a Swap Meet Sale, arresting over 100 people for selling stuff to each other.

I hope the $70 upcharges boost the judge's salaries enough so the one who lives near me will stop using her EBT card at the local grocery store.(I kid you not)
