Non moving violation ticket questions, Ive been racking them up yahoo!!! Options

K for those of you who dont know I live in one of the assinine places in the world. Washington D.C. Well just south of it, in Arlington.

I have never gotten a moving violation, speeding ticket, reckless driving etc. the only tickets i get are non moving violations, Things like:

Parking facing the opposite direction on the street.
not displaying tags on both license plates.
not displaying county and safety tags in the proper place in my window.
not displaying both license plates.

I mean this is like at my home on the side of the street, So If I leave my car out and I dont put the license plate back on if I was working on the bumper. I'll get a ticket like in 2 hours.

I could understand being parked at a store or government place, but wtf Im working on my damn car!!!!

these just seem like little things, I do everything on my car right, safety, emissions, tags registration, and I dont speed or drive reckless then they fine me like $300 so far stupid little stuff. Its driving me crazy.

Is it just me or does anyone else have these problems?

chrobis, Heard that it brings in lots of revenue for the local government, they do it for no other reason, though not to keep people safe.

Im into the liberatarian philosophy, If it dont help you enjoy your life better then the government shouldnt do it.

If the local government really needs more revenue then they should raise it through consensus on taxes, I think thats what they call a democracy, rule through consensus. Silly fines are tax without consent, you are forced to pay, because we all know getting a hearing is a charade.

I guess thats what really pisses me off the most, you are forced by the government to pay them money agaisnt your will with no recourse. They can with impunity give you as many tickets as they want. And the worse thing like you said it just harrasses the tax payer, how does giving someone a ticket for having blue lights on their car help better serve or protect the community?

Wanna know something wild, I was thinking bout calling a lawyer and setting up a class action lawsuit agaisnt my city, for Harrassment and denial to due process (parking court, is a sham). Wanna sue them for a few million, Because everyone I work with gets like a parking ticket, even when they have everything rigth on their cars (tags and such).
