REQUEST TO INVESTIGATE PATTERN OR PRACTICE OF MISCONDUCT OF MONTGOMERY MUNICIPAL COURT EMPLOYEE

The City of Montgomery jail population has significantly increased because of many African Americans being accused of not paying traffic tickets although they allege that they have paid. Some individuals have lost jobs because of being arrested on the charges of unpaid tickets and then released after the City of Montgomery finds out later that they have been paid. These types of unreported incidents make it appear as if a larger scaled cover up is taking place. Evidently there is not a check and balance system in place at these pay windows. If there are skilled employees in the management and supervisory positions while receiving millions of dollars on fines as anticipated and received through the City of Montgomery Annual Budget Report this maybe more involved than arrested. According to the FY 2012 City of Montgomery Budget the Total Anticipated Amount of Fines and Forfeitures $12,500,000 ( Ord. No 41-2011 Budget for 2012, pg. 9). The integrity of this office relies on the integrity of ALL Employees.
The request is to look at ALL Accounts that Christopher Randall Morgan has received and “posted” since being employed with the Montgomery Municipal Court System.
On November 5, 2012 the Montgomery Advertiser did a story after many requests from concerned citizens via Facebook.
