This is why public whipping should be considered, because you have a small percentage of thugs that are going to do what they want and not pay their debt cause problems and be a menace to society. I say identify them then go after them with a heavy hand make them an example.

“Felonies for non violent crimes fill our prisons at taxpayer expense…” So are you suggesting people who commit non violent felonies should not go to prison? How then, should they be punished? Maybe they should pay a fine. No, wait, you suggest all offenders are poverty stricken victims of the system. From that I infer you think people shouldn’t have any negative consequences for breaking the law. Now that’s a broken system.

Sorry Lisa, when folks are running government with almost 25% of revenues from traffic citations, it has nothing or very little to do with safety, but everything to do with a systematic exploitation of people in poverty to maintain huge budgets in the criminal justice system. Felonies for non violent crime fill our prisons at taxpayer expense while making tidy profits for private prison owners and the legislators who take their contributions. Our system is broken and this fire sale discount is just an indicator how pervasive this injustice has become. The tail is wagging the dog Lisa.

Grandlocust: If you can’t afford the fine for a felony or even a speeding ticket just don’t do those things. Take some personal responsibility for your actions. Don’t break the law then try to plead poverty to get out of paying the fine for what you’ve done.

Poor people crushed by economic realities, exploited by a criminal justice system which needs fresh meat to collect fines to keep their jobs is a formula for failure…..eg…..Furgeuson Mo. At some point the Sheriff of Nottingham will recognize that people have nothing left to give……Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men should be sitting on the beach sipping wine and violent crime not revenue collections should be the focus of the criminal justice system.

This reminds me of a story I saw once on TV where people with outstanding warrants were sent a letter saying they were eligible to win a new car if they showed up at a certain place at a certain time. When the people showed up, the Sheriff’s office was there to arrest them.
