This is one way to send a message to our *elected officials*. It starts with civil disobedience and traffic tickets, and it ends in a tax revolt. Without the cooperation of the obedient masses, the clowns in Congress are powerless, and they know it. Watch the rage against the machine begin to grow.
Right now, most people have something to lose, and so they play along. But as more and more people fall by the wayside, due to unemployment or other misfortune, their incentive to stay in the game will disappear. When that attitude begins to spread, the real fireworks will begin. When 30-40% of the labor force loses their job and refuses to play along because they have nothing to lose, we will see people begin to ignore a lot more than traffic tickets.
“New speed cameras enrage Arizona drivers”
“‘I see all the cameras in Arizona completely coming down,'” Shawn Dow, who is leading the public revolt via his chairmanship of Arizona Citizens Against Photo Radar, told the paper. “‘The citizens of Arizona took away the cash cow of Arizona by refusing to pay.'” He is now trying to get the cameras banned in November’s elections.
Although about 700,000 tickets have been issued since Arizona’s 76-camera plan was rolled out last year, a mere $37 million of the $127 million in fines and surcharges has been collected. That is because Arizonans have realised that they can simply ignore tickets sent to them in the post, and the authorities cannot prove that they have received them. Unless the tickets are served in person something Arizona cannot afford to do they become void after three months.”
