Let them start with the double jeopardy they call the "Texas driver responsibility program". Pay a ticket, then also an exorbitant surcharge to the "Municipal Services Bureau" which is a private company. If you don't pay the surcharge, the private company suspends your license until you do... You pay the surcharge just for getting the ticket, whether the ticket was dismissed or not.
Like I said double jeopardy.
Sounds good to me. This sounds a lot like taxation without representation. I don't have a say in it, I am not benefiting in it in any way, so therefor I am not being represented.
