Quote:You avoided my questions, why is it the rest of the tax payers responsibility to cover the cost of either extending the due date on their citation/forgiving the citation or financing the citation? I'm not advocating jail time, I'm saying that's the alternative to not having a third party manage the people that don't pay the fines.

 

I don't think a company is evil for being the third party, of course it's for profit, everything is for profit. Even when government does it, it's for profit, but you're arguing that charging late fee's is the equivalent to income scaled penalties and it's not. What you're advocating is a graduated penalty to spread out the burden of citations equally.

 

 

I didn't say you're advocating jail time.  I'm saying THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING.  The man who stole the $2.00 beer?  He got 60 days of jail time because he couldn't pay the $75 fee for the tracking device.  Surely that cost the taxpayers more than the $200 in fines that he paid.  Not to mention more than the administrative costs.

 

A graduated penalty makes more sense than the system we have.  Because the system we have right now is costing those who don't have the money more.
