Not a surprise. The fact that cities even rely on fines for revenue is completely fucked up, not to mention the racism part. In the old days, if someone stopped you on the road and demanded that you pay them money, or else they'll assault you and kidnap you, that person was known as a robber baron. Today, they're known as a police officer. They literally rob people because they were going a couple of miles per hour too fast, and of course the cops get to decide what is too fast. If you follow the speed limits, which are sometimes slower than what they really should be, then other drivers will aggressively drive around you for going too slow. But if you drive what the speed limit should be, then you run the risk of being robbed. Either way, you lose. The police are making driving more dangerous, when they claim to be making it safer.

And if you don't want to pay your ransom (I mean, ticket)? Then they'll kidnap you in the middle of the night and force you to do slave labor. Fuck. The. Police.
