Speeding TicketsI defend a lot of people in New York traffic courts,including town courts, city courts, and village courts. I see all kinds of traffic tickets. Currently the focus is on Interstate highway speeding, like on the Thruway and the Northway. These are very safe roads. By comparison there is little enforcement in residential neighborhoods. The focus on highways wastes money and diverts our skilled State Troopers from more important areas of law enforcement. It also creates a reverse lottery tax system, where those unlucky enough to get pulled over get whacked with fines, surcharges, and increased insurance premiums amounting to thousands of dollars. I would shift the focus to areas where there is greater danger, especially in residential neighborhoods and other areas with pedestrian traffic. |
