The Beandocks Last week news flash: The Ferguson, Missouri police used their African-American residents' arrests for jay-walking and other non-crimes as a revenue generator. The FPD City Fathers said "Yeah, raising taxes is so un-American. Especially when you have 'jaywalking ATMs' on every corner." The Ferguson PD's official slogan is now "TO SERVE AND COLLECT."
Where are the Ferguson officers preferences documented? The local population of Ferguson is predominately Black so they are likely to be the main source of traffic ticket revenue. Speed traps are common in rural communities in all states. Not a good thing in any jurisdiction.
