Man and I thought (we) were the police / nanny state.

The Sarasota county in Florida USA are voting in laws to give power to repo and sell your house if you fail to pay a red light camera fine.

Somehow I just can't see where the "punishment to fit the crime" exists...

"Earlier this month, the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin foreclosed on the $245,000 home of resident Peter Tubic, 62, because the man, who suffers mental limitations, failed to pay a $50 ticket he received for parking his own run-down van in his own driveway. Only after the story became national news did a top city official claim he would put a stop to the seizure."

A bit less extreme but the same shit exists if you don't pay your fine from riding the train for free, they suspend your licence. Same same not me thinks

shit like this annoys me - a 15yr old can ride a train without a ticket/a bicycle with no helmet etc and get fined and if they dont pay tehy have no license to lose...

WTF does riding the train for free have with holding a valid MDL???
farkers will do anything for revenue

Yes it sucks but actually the 15 year old will not be allowed to get his license until he or she pays the fine.

I think it is a great idea. The train that is.

As for repoing a house over $50, that's fucked

well thats better, but still what if said person never chooses to hold a MDL in their lifetime.. they can just rack up the fines!!

it just shits me how every single little fine or infringement no matter what for automatically puts your license in jeopardy...

hell i could not drive a car for 50years then flick a ciggy butt out of my private jet and lose my license for not paying it
