Quote:My point is the idea that someone would start a company to play the middle man isn't unreasonable, the people have an option they can pay the citation or enter the program managed by a private company. Like I said it's better than the alternative of don't pay the citation, there is no company to manage the program so your license is suspended. Any system private or public don't pay citations it gets expensive and snowballs, I'm failing to see the problem.

 

The problem is: WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION.

 

You can't just say "Well, I can't pay it.  So go ahead, suspend my license"


And they often end up suspending your license anyway, because again:


If you owe the company $100.00 and you owe the court $40.00, and pay the company $40.00 to pay the court, you still owe the court $40.00.  And then the next month your bill increases by the company.

 

But hey, this is fine to you.  Companies should only care about making profit.  I mean geez, you're telling me they can't profit off of selling your personal information?  That seems so wrong!


And before you say "Well that's illegal!"


How about the constitution being violated?

He wound up divorced, homeless and broke, and in April 2012 he was arrested for stealing a $2 can of beer from an Augusta convenience store. Though not sentenced to time behind bars, his inability to pay a $200 fine would lead to him cycling in and out of jail, initially for almost two months, despite the fact that U.S. and state constitutional protections prohibit such punishment.
