Missouri cities can no longer treat their citizens like ATMs, a lawmaker said Thursday as the state's governor signed a bill capping how much money local governments can collect from traffic tickets and fines.

This needs to be applied to every state. Next change needs to be how cops can take money from you if they think you are carrying too much. Why? Because you never get it back.

Law enforcement is suppose to exist to enforce law, not think of a million ways to take the tax payers money.

Crime is the lowest its ever been, the murder rate is the lowest its been since the 1950s and dropping year over year yet we have more cops than ever. They spend most their days giving out fees and fines instead of stopping violent crime. We are using tax payer money (their salaries) to extract more of our money, what the gently caress is wrong with us?

There's more black people in prison for drug possession/use than there are for rape, armed robbery, and murder combined.

maybe there are fewer murders because there are more cops, i mean i don't think that's true but it's pretty weird to not even acknowledge the possibility!!

actually they should have passed a progressive law based on income for tickets so a rich guy has to pay 50,000 dollar speeding tickets if he makes a shitton of money and 5 dollars for a guy making minimum wage

Imo i think literally the only reason that the crime rates dropped dramatically in the late 90's-early 00's is the thousands of cops all the major cities put on the streets. That and all the asset forfeiture laws that benefitted the police departments. Its not like theres been any kind of sea change of culture or anything, people are just as leaderless and disempowered on the street as they've ever been. As those budgets drop, watch the roving gangs of hooligans start back up again. I told a boston cop on roving-hooligan-watching-duty this and he didn't seem to disagree with me. They kill all the civil rights leaders and this is what happens, they have to resort to guns to keep the status quo. IMO

Brazil just kills em in the streets, China too for the most part. Europes tired of fighting for now, they had a 2000 year stretch or so, taking a 50 year reprieve. What place in the world is rich, dynamic and crime free again?
