Quote:It's not really a slippery slope, transpiration is voluntary, why would one area of transportation be ok to profit and the other not?

 

However back on point, I acknowledge companies only want to make a profit, I don't view that as a bad thing. The issue here isn't corruption, it would be different if you had police departments writing tickets to fill quotas to keep the private companies managing the tickets happy and sending kickbacks. That does however happen even when there is no private company, police departments have unspoken rules about quotas to fill to keep revenue running to the state or county office.

 

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.
