"Equity" Speed Cameras To Screw California Tax Payers Are Operational!

James Conklin, World News Report, today, April 7th, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Another idea to screw the California taxpayer has gone into operation. Equity speed cameras go live in California. San Francisco launched a controversial new traffic camera program. To which residents with low incomes who are receiving government assistance will receive substantial discounts of fines. City authorities turned on 33 new cameras last month, according to KABC-TV in Los Angeles, yet they will not give out citations for the first two months of the program. Instead, drivers will receive warnings during that time period. Once citations do start, however, the income level of the driver will determine how much he or she will pay. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency revealed on its website that the fees, as mandated by state legislation, differ quite a bit based on income levels. For example, drivers caught going between 11 and 15 miles per hour over the speed limit. will receive ordinary fees of $50 but if they're low income they will pay $25 and if they are on public assistance of any kind their fine will drop to $10. The pattern extends into much higher fines. The normal fee for driving between 16 and 25 miles per hour over the speed limit is $100 for most people. But it is $50 for low income and $20 for public assistance. Quote, the rate for anyone going 26 miles per hour or more over the speed limit increases to $200, but it drops to $140 respectively for less privileged drivers. Anyone going more than 100 miles per hour can expect to receive fines of a whopping $500 unless they happen to be low income. Or on public assistance, after which the fees will fall to $250 and $100 respectively. Some critics, all critics of the program, assert that charging different fines based on income levels in the same offense is inherently unjust. San Francisco is launching a new speed safety pilot program backed by Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, where how much you pay for a speeding ticket depends on who you are. And it's all in the name of equity. On its website, the City Transportation Authority goes out of its way to explain that speed safety cameras will be dispersed across San Francisco in a quote, equitable fashion. But not everyone will have to be the same if they get a ticket. Get this. Low-income offenders qualify for steep fine discounts, guys, up to half off. And if you're homeless but speeding in your vehicle, you can get up to 80% discount. Jerry, here's just one of the many problems I have with this. The reason for this program, for the speed cameras... Was reportedly because of high injury areas, meaning where pedestrians have been hit and killed. So since all lives are equal, why are we getting discounts on speeding tickets when everyone should understand how serious it is to drive safely where people have died? I couldn't believe this when I read this. I was like, is this really true? We are all equal in the eyes of the law. Oh, no, we're not. We're not all equal in the eyes of the law. Okay, so might this get extended eventually? So maybe if I commit a burglary and I don't have a lot of money, maybe that's okay, or maybe I get a reduced sentence. I just don't understand the logic operating here. I think we should all be equal in the eyes of the law. Everybody should pay the same fine. But, of course, there is no logic with anything associated with California, and especially associated with Gavin Newsom. Ladies and gentlemen, you're going to have people that work hard for a living paying taxes have much more severe penalties now for crimes than people that are, quote-unquote, on government assistance or low income. Ridiculous. God bless you guys. Share and subscribe. Please share. Always remember, anything's possible in Bizarro World.
