The courts are set up to scam money from people over stupid traffic laws.
Too fast? Ticket
Too slow? Ticket
No papers(license, insurance, inspection, registration)? Ticket: if US citizen, no ticket if illegal.
We have a dual system here:
Illegals get welfare, food stamps and immunity from prosecution.
US citizens get prosecuted to full extent of laws.
We live in an upside down world........
You get ticketed and fined if you seem to have the ability to pay. If you're an illegal with no assets to seize, then arresting you represents a net cost to the system, and they ignore you. It's all about the money.
You hit the nail on the head. The local police/sheriff officers issue tickets and pull over cars based on the ability to pay the ticket. Illegals don’t get stopped and if they do, they get a pass.
Too much paperwork on pulling over a junker truck with lawn care equipment in an unregistered trailer and 5 grubby guys in green shirts that has no insurance and is dropping crap on the road.
Pull over the guy in a late model luxury car, or a woman with her minivan or SUV full of kiddos, they pay.
