What's "good"?
I don't understand?
This is from DingDong's linkkk. DingDong won't print the entire story, and there's a reason for that.
Municipal fines are the city’s second-highest source of revenue. Last year Ferguson drivers paid $12,400 in fines for driving cars with tinted windows. They paid another $4,905 for loud music coming out of their cars. The biggest slice of that revenue comes from people, like Ms. Clemons, who drive without insurance. In 2013, the city of just 21,000 people made almost $287,000 on that infraction alone.
Many African-Americans, who are pulled over at higher rates than whites, face traffic fines that, if not paid, can land them in jail.
So the trust level was not high in court and at the police clerk’s window in Ferguson this week.
The city issued about 25,000 arrest warrants last year — three per household, according to Arch City Defenders, a nonprofit legal group that recently
published a scathing report on the issue.
To combat the notion that the city deliberately issued tickets to finance its operations, the Council on Tuesday agreed to limit how much of the city’s general fund can come from municipal fines.
