re: #94 Dark_Falcon

You read Radley Balko’s expose’ about the St. Louis metro area, I presume? Traffic tickets are a racket there, pure and simple.

I wish that piece would be put out in serialized form and given wide coverage. It was excellent; infuriating, sad, and eye-opening. It was really long, though. I am a fast reader and it took my about 1/2 an hour to finish it. With most people having the attention span of a flea, or a People magazine article, I think the only way it will be read widely is administered in small doses.

It was really well done, and should, at very least, be required reading for every elected official in the state of Missouri and the US Congress.
