“Years ago, before the militarization on the police state and the installment of omnipotent confiscatory governments in America’s cities, these things were ‘make work’ for the government employees and unions. In the era of No Freedom, they have become revenue centers for municipalities. Cities where parking is scarce, like Long Beach, conduct scheming ticket sweeps because people have no where else to park, and the city adds $9M per year to the city coffers by pulling off this extortion tactic. Long Beach’s Dictatorial Staff even went so far to suggest the use of ‘automated license plate recognition technology’ on its convoy of street sweepers.”
