Taxpayers in CA still obey the law. There’ll be hell to pay if we don’t.
But that accounts for about half of us.
Indeed! The tax man can not be avoided. Yet, the border, the drug laws, theft, traffic laws, loitering, etc. Most of that is not enforced for the general populace.
Same for rules of the road - I got pulled over for “failure to wear a seat belt” - I had the belt under my arm b/c I’m small and it cuts into my neck. I was going a few blocks to pick up my son and left my purse at home. Somehow the cop couldn’t pull up my name, license, etc., on his computer - which meant a ticket and mandatory appearance before a judge. All I had to do was show my license and proof of insurance. I was lucky. Cop said he was going to tow my car but I had my son in the car at the time.
I had to lose a day of work to go and show my license and registration before a judge - took less than 10 seconds and I had to wait for hours just to do that.
This happens to law abiding citizens - not illegals - who can now get licenses, but most don’t carry insurance. The one that hit me gave fake insurance card, and that’s the last I heard of it, I’m sure nothing happened to the idiot and my insurance company said they were “working on it” - three years later. I’m sure the illegal is still driving his car around w/0 insurance. You can no longer tow illegals’ cars if they don’t have proof of registration, insurance and a valid license (required for US) b/c they “need the car to get to work” - someone else can come and get it for them and that’s the end of it.
This is what the likes of Newsom have done to the state of California -
