In Indianapolis you are guilty because I say so and if you attempt to defend yourself we will fine you up to 2,500 dollars

Wow, is this a Free Country or what?

Perhaps Indianapolis has already adopted the communist approach of Stalin and others?

Won’t be too long and they will be renaming all of their managers titles to Czar.

Shame on you.

I know you’re hurting for revenue because you have stood idly by while the corporations have sent the high paying jobs offshore and now that your citizens can only find work at wal-mart or other such places, you suddenly find yourself hurting for the necessary tax revenue to run your fine city.

Well, let me give you a little clue

Attacking the people of the community will not work.

Perhaps you should force the corporations to send the H-1B’s offshore and make it financially unfeasible for your corporations to send their jobs offshore and then you will find the pot of gold that is necessary to run your city.

Motorists who receive minor parking or traffic tickets in Indianapolis, Indiana are being threatened with fines of up to $2500 if they attempt to take the ticket to court. A local attorney with the firm Roberts and Bishop was so outraged by what he saw in Marion County traffic court that he filed a class action suit yesterday seeking to have the practice banned as unconstitutional.

The city made explicit the threat of additional fines for challenging parking tickets in a November 30 press release announcing a deal between Indianapolis and a private firm, T2 Systems, to hand over operations of a parking ticket court to increase municipal income.

In traffic court, Judge William Young has been making good on the threats by routinely siding with police officers in disputes and imposing fines of up to $500 on anyone who challenges a moving violation ticket, no matter how minor, and loses. Those who pay without going to court do not face this extra fine.

“The deck is stacked against the motorist,” lawyer Paul K. Ogden wrote. Ogden argues the court’s practices violate the excessive fines clause of the state constitution as well as the clause requiring that “all penalties shall be proportioned to the nature of the offense.”

By the way, I believe Judge’s are elected, so perhaps it is time to vote out Judge William Young
