FREMONT, Kalifornia (PNN) - February 5, 2012 - Kalifornia has the most expensive red light camera tickets in the world - the fine is so steep that one camera in Oakland generates more than $3 million a year - and a Fremont man is launching a protest group to do something about it.
If Roger Jones has his way, that freezing dread that knifes through a driver the moment he sees the overhead flash of a traffic camera will become a thing of the past.
But he's facing quite an uphill fight against greedy thug officials hungry for the cash the cameras sweep in and pig thug cops who are convinced by their lying superiors that they make the roads safer.
Anyone in Kalifornia snapped violating a red light pays a fine of $480, and according to the traffic watch site TheNewspaper.com, no other jurisdiction anywhere has a tab that high. The second highest fine in the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) is $250, and it is usually closer to $100.
The Kalifornia Legislature passed two bills in the past two years that would have reduced the fine or limited the cameras' use, but both were vetoed. When he killed the most recent measure, fascist pig thug Governor Jerry Brown said the matter should be left to local jurisdictions.
The state Department of Finance has estimated that unconstitutional red light cameras bring in more than $80 million annually to the state and $50 million to cities and counties - and that, Jones and his supporters say, is the real reason they continue to snap away at motorists.
Not all $480 from each ticket goes to the cities or counties that authorize the cameras - more than half goes to the state or to the companies that run the devices; and not all tickets result in convictions.
The bottom line is that these unlawful devices are designed to steal money from Kalifornia citizens, who are denied the Due Process Right to face their accusers in court, which is why the entire program is unlawful.
Ed, Note: If you cancel your driver’s license and place your vehicle into a non-statutory trust, then pig thug cops and officials will be unable to force your compliance! It is way past time to stop paying these tickets and stop obeying the fascist pig thugs who seek to take over your country! Revolution Now! Independence Forever!
