this is the FIRST DO NOTHING piece of legislation of this session. it serves no useful purpose other than to make the legislators feel they are doing something productive. it solves no statewide problems, and it does not make the state's financial situation ANY BETTER. it just regulates.

sad...we know there are more important things to be done at this time! I'm keeping an eye on my elected officials for the first time...I want action, enough talk!

to enforce local laws. county sheriff's are there to enforce county laws, as well as run the county jails when necessary. state troopers are only supposed to patrol our state highways. state paid traffic cops. they don't have a residential beat, they don't have civil paperwork to deliver, they don't have a county jail to maintain, they just patrol highways. in other states, the county deputies do a lot of patrolling of the highways, as the counties want to get a piece of the 'ticket bonanza'. if the county deputy writes the ticket, the county gets all the funds, except what the state charges. if the trooper writes the ticket, the county only gets a little.

When a city writes you a ticket and you fight it, if the judge does you a favor they will make the fine stick but not give you any points. This is a good deal for you since your insurance company stays out of your pocket. Two penny jenny gets real upset though because all the money stays in the city. This is how redford and canton finance their cities. In ann arbor they wanted to hire two cops. The city council said no. The cops then went and figured out that if the new cops write the AVERAGE number of tickets that the rest of the cops write it will cost nothing and actually make them some money. Hey why stop at two new cops. Lets put a hundred more out there and really rake in the cash.
