Remember the traffic lawyer/legislator who introduced a law imposing a $1050 “abuser fee” on people who drive more than 10 over? He’s at it again.
My favorite part of the article:
“When you turn law-abiding people into criminals, they lose all respect for the law,” Michigan Judge Michael Jarreau testified before a state legislative committee. “I will almost never take a guilty plea for driving with a suspended license.”
There’s a man who understands. Too bad there aren’t more like him in government.
You know, if I were an ambitious Virginia state prosecutor who wanted my picture in the papers, I might find a suitably compliant judge and have an arrest warrant issued for Rep. Douchebag on some sort of felony official malfeasance. Then I’d have a bevy of State Police rhinos drag Rep. Douchebag out of the Virginia State Capitol Building in handcuffs and waist chains, at 10:00am, a gauntlet of media photographers ready to hand.
But that’s just me.
