“A couple of those fines were for speeding, one was for failure to wear her seatbelt and most of the rest were for what defense attorneys in the St. Louis area have come to call “poverty violations” — driving with a suspended license, expired plates, expired registration and a failure to provide proof of insurance.”
So, society is supposed to look the other way while people drive unlicensed, unregistered, uninsured vehicles? Why should members of certain communities be exempt from being responsible members of society?
Oh, right . . . poverty, race . . . I get it. Well, clearly Obama phones are not enough. We must have Obama cars and Obama insurance.
It’s worth noting that the “poverty violations” description was originally coined by defense attorneys, so it’s not like anyone would take it seriously anyway. LOL.
