[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This idiot with thousands of dollars in speeding tickets could have killed someone today. It's only a matter of time before he does. WHY can't this city start enforcing the law with regard to unpaid tickets? And don't give the the progressive b.s. about how it's unfair to the poor.  If you can afford to speed around this city in a Mercedes, you can afford to get your car out of a boot or tow for unpaid tickets.

Racial equity issues.  It will disproportionately impact people of color. [/quote]

This is just making excuses for bad behavior. If people of color are disproportionately speeding, putting others lives at risk, then they deserve to be ticketed just like anyone else who behaves in this way. Homicide is also disproportionately committed by people of color (and the victims are also disproportionately people of color). Should we just shrug and say we shouldn't prosecute murder b/c the statistics don't match some progressive pie-in-the-sky vision of what society should look like?  It's like people excusing the ATV riders who put other drivers and pedestrians at risk with their juvenile behavior and people say, "Oh it's just a cultural thing." Yeah, no. It's a dangerous thing that impacts quality of life for everyone. And it's going to get someone killed. [/quote]
