Stop the uncontrolled rise of excessive fines for moving violations or parking violations that cities and municipalities are inflicting on the ordinary citizen. Demand a state-wide standard of maximum fines for ordinary tickets.
Why is this important?
Citizens are being financially assaulted on a daily basis by arbitrary and excessive fines by municipalities for non-violent breakings of the law. For example, I once stopped at a public bus stop for 10 seconds to let two people out and was surrounded by police cars who gave me a ticket for $450.
This excessive and arbitrary scheme of fines is meant to pad the coffers of poorly run or greedy municipalities. We need state-wide maximum fines for common infractions.
