Protection Money

From the Bay State:
Motorists issued a traffic ticket in Massachusetts will have to pay money to the state whether or not they committed the alleged crime. According to a state supreme court ruling handed down yesterday, fees are to be imposed even on those found completely innocent. The high court saw no injustice in collecting $70 from Ralph C. Sullivan after he successfully fought a $100 ticket for failure to stay within a marked lane.
Yeah, that won’t be abused. No. Fucking. Way. I mean, I just can’t imagine police departments mandating giving out traffic tickets even when there is NO infraction so that they can get a free $70 from each person that fights it.
