What if people just started driving the normal speed? Wouldn’t the whole court system have to shut down within a year?
Seems like the judges should take a 20% pay cut until business picks up
Smart fella, right there.
They’re running short of people to shake down?
The orders are simple; Just get their money any way possible.
Brnnng rnng ring, Hello? Eric Holder?
Nevada needs fewer judges.
Why can’t these judges just get money from the Mob like Senator Harry Greed does?
Traffic tickets are all about safety, not revenue. They told us so. For the last 60 years.
Cut the mother-effing courts’ budgets then. Starting with an across the board salary cut on the judges.
Jeez. That’s what every other normal business has to do.
If ticket revenue is down 10%, then they need to reduce speed limits by 10% to compensate.
Gotta maintain the judicial industrial complex.
I understand the Ferguson police chief is available. He should be able to teach them all they need to know about boosting revenue from tickers and citations.
Maybe they need fewer judges who work harder.
If it were me, I would implement a program of tickets for public drunkenness. That Is send the cops to the streets with drunk kits and then write tickets. Las Vegas and Reno would at least have an increase in fines collected
Since jail is not the way to treat tourists, a stiff fine and warning should do the job
Our Police forces should not be corrupted into revenue agents with guns.
And if we see a sudden increase in tickets, we know they are trying to raise funds, not improve safety. This may already be occurring. Two days ago, here in Reno, I came upon two officers with an elaborate speed trap set up on a street where I have never seen them before.
” The 21 percent reduction in revenue is hitting the courts hard.”
Simple solution - cut judicial pay by 21% and increase working hours. If the fat-ass black-robes quit, get the telephone book out and a set of darts to find replacements.
Bwahahahahahhaaaaaqaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Just as I’ve always said: Police are more about revenue enhancement than public safety.
Maybe if they would go after the people who do stupid, dangerous stuff they would get the revenue they need. Lord knows, there are plenty of them out there.
But no, they take the lazy way out by going for the low hanging fruit, sitting beside the road waiting to snag speeders.
That way they can munch donuts and surf for porn waiting for their radar to start beeping.
