What a complete piece of crap article. NOBODY hires lawyers for parking tickets...how is paying a lawyer cheaper than paying a pkg ticket? This is otherworldly stupid.

i am sympathetic to people who try to work their problems out and can’t get anyone to work with them to get things right.

i don’t have sympathy for people who make their own bad choices and then expect people to feel sorry for them and let them off the hook withoutnthem lifting a finger to try to work with the other parties to make things right.

like setting up a payment plan that may take awhile, but will square things away. like not just sitting on their ass hoping they’ll stay under the radar but not trying to fix their problems, justhoping it will all be forgiven them without them having to do anything.

If you can’t pay the “dime”, don’t do the crime.

It’s EVERY bit as simple as that.

On her kitchen table sit unpaid traffic tickets from the cities of Beverly Hills and Town and Country: $199 total.



Go ahead and hire that lawyer. You may need it for skipping court. Dance with the Bull you may get the Horns.

ironic- as a Conservative who flies a Gadsen flag outside my house here in NY, i feel constant stress every day the mail comes, expecting a letter from the IRS...i’ve already received one from the state and am coming to an end of an audit...

Illegal immigrants show us that if enough break a law, they become a courted voting block.

All future GOPers must run on the promise of amnesty.

amnesty for back taxes.

Amnesty for weapons violations.

EPA violations.

So... most ‘personal experience’ newsstories coming out of St. Louis suburbs are from self-admitted criminals.

Can’t the media find anyone who is ‘clean’ ?

Gosh maybe she should have gone to court and plead for a lower fine and then set up payments. Somehow people manage to do that here in Taxifornia. But, yeah if you just ignore your summons the hole keeps getting deeper. Why should I feel sorry for her because she chose to ignore the law?

I’ve heard scumbuckets tell the cops “I’m a good kid—I pay my fines on time.”

She should have paid her tickets. I had to pay mine. According to the article she is working. Let her spend some of her dope money paying her tickets.

It really doesn’t matter what your excuse is, or why you feel you’ve been put upon, or whether the law is unjust or unfair. When you’re summoned to a duly authorized court, you go to court.

I bet she spends more than $199 a month on her cell phone and/or booze and/or cigarettes.

Illness, poverty, and compelling family obligations can cause otherwise responsible people to fall behind on tickets, insurance, licensing, and registration. When that happens, new civil and criminal charges ensue and fees mount up. Arrest and vehicle impound can then follow, with added expense and damage to reputation and employment.

For many police agencies and the jurisdictions they serve, this system generates substantial revenue. Yet does a system with such a predatory nature represent good public policy? Is the burden imposed on the poor and unfortunate a necessary and just burden? Is the damage to relations between the police and the public balanced by the benefits? And what are those benefits anyway?

Being a law and order conservative ought not to make one a supporter of predatory government policies. Unnecessarily making the poor and overburdened into criminals is wrong -- not because of sympathy for them but because such criminalization is foolish and unjust. Conservatives should not be deaf to such arguments or blind to the facts they are based on.
