You swerved into something I have been trying to explain to my brother. Is the gubmint going to go after the people with no money for violations of the law...or are they going to come after YOU, because they know you have money? It is “Escape from New York” simple!
Yup...city revenues are way down and low and behold jay-walking tickets are way, WAY up along with citations for walking a dog without a leash, disorderly conduct (very broad to say the least), etc...etc.. The cities fleece the citizens (read harass) to make up the revenue.
