If you go to California and rob the nearest Walgreens or Target, you'll get -- at best -- a slap on the wrist.
But if you park just an inch too close to a crosswalk, the authorities will make sure to fine you.
It's in the name of 'public safety,' of course, and we should just ignore the fact local municipalities issuing the fines will raise millions from the tickets.
The entire post reads:
Instead of painting the curbs red, California cities are raking in millions of dollars by handing out tickets thanks to a new sneaky "daylighting" law that went into effect on January 1st.
In just the first 4 months, for example, San Diego has already handed out 4200 tickets and is expected to make $3M a year.
"No one can park within 20 ft of an unmarked or marked crosswalk on the approach side of the crosswalk," said parking enforcement supervisor Erin Longen.
The law is supposedly in place to "provide more visibility to drivers and pedestrians." (NBC)
Tickets were initially proposed to be $117 each; however, the city of San Diego, for example, will be raising prices to make more money.
This'll last until some Lefty decides to base the fines on 'economic equity,' of course.
But the big crimes? Nah. They can't be bothered with that.
It's proof that they can enforce laws.
They just choose not to enforce the important ones.
That might be unfair.
It's government. Of course it's stupid.
Yes. That's exactly what they're counting on.
And then they'll tax you on the way out the door.
It would be, if they enforced the other laws against theft, drug use, public defecation, and homicide with the same zealotry.
The entire state is governed by an HOA.
As we said, they'll eventually stop fining low-income residents, who will then park within 20 feet of the curb, and this will all be for naught.
