Not to go too far OT but governments posting government buildings 30.06 has no penalty either.

I would vigorously support penalties for such laws.

I understand your sentiment, but wo is it that actually pays thoise penelties? Maybe if they actually put jail time to this miscreants that actually ordered those signs? but fining a government agency probably isn't the answer.

Then what is the point?

It is not a "law" if there are absolutely no repercussions from not obeying it.

But I know I as a taxpayer wouldn't be happy paying off suits because DPS didn't have enough money due to an unprecedented increase in applications. Defendiing these suits would cost resources that could be better spent. processing applications

Well, then I submit that it should not be a "law" if we're not going to enforce it. Can I just ignore some laws because they are inconvenient to me? Absolutely NOT.

I've worked for the State before - I know it often is not a matter of "needing to hire more people", it is a matter of being inefficient with the people and systems you have. For example, when I worked for a State Hospital, there were only 8 of them in the whole state and they had 8 different ways of doing everything they all did in common.

The DPS should not hold ME accountable and ticket me for not following "speed guidelines" - how does that sound?
