Corrupt Fucks in Local Government- Arnold, MO Edition

The issue of the automated red light and speed cameras is a pretty hot topic nationwide. There is evidence that the speed cameras are rigged. The red light cameras catch drivers who stopped.

A Missouri appellate court has held that the ordinances passed by towns to authorize red light cameras are unconstitutional. But that hasn't stopped the city of Arnold, MO from issuing tickets.

If the drivers show up in court, the tickets get tossed. If the drivers don't pay or show up, no warrant is issued. But if the driver sends in a check, the city keeps the money.

If you run a business and you send out invoices for services that were never rendered or goods that were never delivered, you'd stand a good chance of eventually getting charged with fraud. That is, in essence, what the city of Arnold is doing.

They are thieves.
