[quote=Anonymous][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. 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]
NP here, I agree that we need to keep ticketing and go further to make sure the tickets get paid. But ever since the beginning of the speed camera program the cameras have been disproportionately in areas of the city with more POC.[/quote]
