Why am I always the last one to get the memo. Many Florida cities collect over 30% of their revenues from writing traffic tickets. It is such a common practice that many of the patients in my office said Dah when I mentioned if they thought writing tickets for revenue was happening daily in Charlotte County Florida. THE POORER THE COUNTY THE MORE PRESSURE THEIR IS TO MAKE UP FOR REVENUE SHORT FALLS.
The solution is simple put 100 percent of the money into the school system or a general fund in Tallahassee for State Distribution. If you doubt the Charlotte County Sheriffs department is over policing and writing tickets on our poorest citizens watch “Weekend Review with John Oliver” on HBO.
