Did I read that right? The Albo guy snuck it in so his law firm would make more money?!?

Quotethe law forbids judges from reducing or suspending it in any way

Figures.

Fortunately, it doesn't apply to out-of-state drivers, but if I lived in VA there is no WAY they'd see a penny from me.

Quote"The purpose of the civil remedial fees imposed in this section is to generate revenue," the new law states

More revenue for Albo, that is.  >:(

Texas also has this "driver responsibility program", where if you hit a certain number of points, they send you a big bill, completely separate from the traffic fine. If you don't pay it, they suspend your license.

As the article mentioned, Michigan has already passed a similiar law.  Get out of there quick!   ;D

Bring guns. Lots of guns.

Done.
Be careful what you wish for - you just might get it.

I think you just volunteered to help unpack them all and carry them up the stairs and into ... oh yes, the gun safe.  Thanks, dude.  And the ammo.  Guns are just big funny looking sticks without ammo. 

I'd start the weight training and stretching exercises now...

$3500 for a speeding ticket seems like an "unusual" punishment.

I'll help you move the guns, but I don't have the heavy equipment that'll be required to move a gun safe THAT big. ;D

I'm sure the first person to get slapped with this new fee will have a line of attorneys out the door to mount an Article I Section 9 or an Eighth Amendment challenge to its validity, as violative of the prohibitions on excessive fines.

Always with the damn revenue generating crap.  The Republicans (I only raise this because Albo's a Republican) need to realize that revenue generating taxes like this only expand the size and scope of government, and their base of voters need to start booting their asses to the curb until they get the damn point.
