Yes, that was what I was getting at. While we are at it, traffic tickets as a revenue source or actually any fine as a revenue source is potentially bad.
This i can agree with. Not that it's particularly clever, but I've been referring to most of these issues as Cowards Taxes. Because the politicians who need to cover budget potholes are too cowardly to ask the people to increase taxes to cover expenses, and instead use this absurd backdoor tactic under the guise of "safety". Things like red light cameras adhere to the letter but not the spirit of the law, it's unjust and we all know it. Man up. Raise taxes, or cut expenses. You can't have it both ways.
