If You’re Too Broke to Pay a Ticket Alabama Authorities will Allow You to Drive, but You Can’t Leave the State [there is also no privilege to drive using a "cell phone" in the Free-Range-Prison]
/From [Massprivatel] If you are too poor to pay a traffic ticket or a fine in Alabama the police will not let you leave the state.
You read that right, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency will issue poor people "hardship drivers licenses" but you cannot leave.
The mass media is falling all over themselves praising the new law, saying "this rule could help tens of thousands of people, over 20,000 alone had their licenses suspended just an for inability to pay for fines and fees that were assets to them," said Dev Wakeley.
Captain Archer confirms that poor people will not be allowed to leave Alabama.
Hardship drivers licenses exist in every state and are mostly used for minors and DUI offenders, they are not used to punish the poor.
An article in Alabama Today claims police have begun accepting applications to restore limited driving privileges to thousands of motorists who simply are too poor to pay their ticket.
According to Senate Bill 55 the police will only give poor people a hardship drivers license if they do not pose a risk to public safety.
"The Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency shall develop and implement a Class D hardship driver license program with specified and limited driving privileges for a person with a suspended or revoked license who can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the agency that he or she does not pose a risk to public safety."
Welcome to American policing where one's inability to pay a ticket or a fine is now a risk to "public safety."
Police want to know what church you attend
Before Alabamians are allowed to drive again, Big Brother wants to know things like where you work and go to church. They also want to know the EXACT routes you will take to get there.
Below is a list of what Alabama residents must provide to law enforcement before they are allowed to drive again.
List of anticipated places applicant will travel (work, home, church, etc.) and address of each
Documentation for all anticipated routes applicant will travel (using Google Maps, MapQuest, etc.)
List of anticipated times of travel (in relation to work shifts, religious ceremony times, etc.)
Make, Model, Tag No.); Proof of Mandatory Liability Insurance Shall Be Provided For Each Vehicle.
This is what happens when the right to travel freely is seen by our courts and law enforcement as a privilege.
How can America still be considered the "land of the free" when police surveil a person's every movement and restrict their right to travel?
