Also, I am curious as to why you are championing this cause by yourself? Does no one else feel the way that you do? Are you the only person on the entire forum of over 15,000 members with this opinion?
Actually, I not very happy about this myself. I think the punishment is far to high in proportion to the crime, I find it incredibly unfair that these uber-fines are only applicable to Virginia drivers, and I don't think the good (road improvements,) that can come from this outweigh the possible abuses by certain officers of questionable ethics, shall we say.
I simply do not think it a wise idea to use the police department as tax collectors, which is the purpose of these fines.
