So are parking ticket fines.
And if they were enforced and collected by private companies, like RLC's are, a lot of people would be equally upset. Perhaps I didn't make what I said clear. RLC's are operated by private corporations, not municipalities. A parking ticket is issued by a PD and collected as a fine by the city. Can anyone name any city/county/state/federal fine whose enforcement and collection is entrusted to a private company? I can see cities using private firms (mostly law) to collect taxes or audit, but to issue fines?
Does it bother anyone besides me that the lion's share of the revenue from RLC's goes to a company and not a city?
The more tickets the RCL company issues, the more money they make. Is a company in Arizona that makes their bottom line from RLC fines really more interested in traffic safety than profit? The combination of factors is what bothers me.
Can anyone say with absolute certainty that one day CHL applicants would not be denied a license because of an unpaid RLC fine issued and collected by a company in another state, rather than a governmental entity? As usual, just my opinions.
It's all about the money and nothing else. If it's one thing that America hasn't realized yet, it's the word greed. G-R-E-E-D. This world is driven by greed and nothing else. It's all about seeing how much money they can squeeze out of each and every individual. Greed is more addicting than any drug known to man. The world did not used to be this way. Perfect example. It was in the news today.
