Macomb County Ticket Fines Plummet, Threatening Construction of New Courthouse.
We receive a lot of angry e-mails telling us that traffic tickets do not in any way benefit the local enforcement agencies or local district court systems. This notion has been fully addressed in our previous post regarding the distribution of traffic citation revenue. In short, the answer is a resounding Yes! Absolutely - the local enforcement agencies and local district court systems depend on this funds to pad their own pockets and to build new plush offices.

Macomb County residents and businesses should be outraged. Those who work and commute into Macomb County should be outraged. Don’t forget that rouge cops like David Kanapsky and Stephen Starr are in Macomb County. Everyone in Metro Detroit should be outraged at the simple fact that more often than not, innocent motorists are being preyed on as ‘cash cows’. Unfortunately, fighting the ticket is not in your favor at all, because judges and magistrates have none of your best interest at heart.

So…. are you saying that anyone that gets a ticket doesn’t deserve one?? Oh, yes, I forgot -nobody in today’s society is to be held accountable for their actions. Whatever happened to be responsible for your actions??

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Lisa.
DoTakeItPersonal.com has many entries, as you can search through the archives, that answered your attempts above to spin the issue.
Short answer - No, we didn’t say that anyone that gets a traffic ticket doesn’t deserve it.
If you wish to truly argue your point, the solution is extremely simple - Take money out of the equation. That’s it - Just remove the financial element and let us all watch what happens.
