Adding to the Hellish sewer that is the modern day reactionary Third Worldization of once-great America, people rolling through stop signs and speeding on streets are charged with criminal offenses, and then they are turned over to “private probation services” to pay the fines. The fines are paid in monthly installments of ~$40, plus various start-up fees, photo fees and a $10/day probation monitoring fee. As you can see, $300 fine ends up costing a Hell of a lot more over time. Over a year’s time, the fine may double, and then if you can’t pay the doubled penalty, you get sentenced to jail.
This diabolical law was passed due to corruption by these evil private probation services paying off legislators, one of whom was later jailed for corruption. They have an interest in having as many people as possible convicted of crimes, jailed and sentenced to probation, so they have been lobbying the state to create more new artificial criminals to drum up business.
Good God, America is a turning into a 3rd world shithole, Jesus Christ.
Poorhouses. Debtor’s prisons. Welcome to Shithole America, the world’s first 3rd World 1st World country.
