Didn't read the thread but I assume there's still a bunch of morons supporting traffic fines as a "voluntary stupid tax" etc. and still actually believing it's for the public good?

People are generally supportive of fines (or taxes) for groups of people they don’t feel they belong to.

Won't find the support for fines in the name of safety in this thread. People who support traffic fines are the same people who buy those plastic Children Playing Ahead things.

So how do we fight back this injustice? Brian Jean for Premier?

Ticket people for driving while white

Tickets for other races are prorated based on level of oppression.

I support a race-based traffic ticketing system against white people, that way you can't call it racist.

[killramos]

Would that mean racing is no longer an offence?

English is stupid.

That’s racist against many opressed but light coloured peoples like Elizabeth Warren. Give your head a shake.

I’m pretty sure this has been in the works across multiple governments. One of the few things they agree on.

is it actually something they agree on? I hate this new policy to the point Id vote differently.

Everyone's guilty no matter what. As if the cities and police don't take advantage of this new revenue generator.

Yea, there was talk of this for cost reductions 8 years ago. It’s one of those low hanging fruits because speeders are evil and will buy votes.

I speed properly, everybody else are maniacs.

You all are looking at this wrong (although the mandatory fee to appeal is total BS unless you are refunded upon reversal).
I foresee that by eliminating the need for officers to make a court appearance that they go on a ticket writing binge and actually start enforcing traffic laws like illegal lane changes and rolling stops and tailgating.
Maybe they will carry portable payment machines (with the tip option of course) so you can pay and be on your way.
If you get a photo radar ticket or "Intersection Safety Cameras" its because you weren't paying attention.
Due process? Hell driving is a privilege not a right (note-sarcasm).
