Brookside’s finances are rocket-fueled by tickets and aggressive policing. In a two-year period between 2018 and 2020 Brookside revenues from fines and forfeitures soared more than 640 percent and now make up half the city’s total income.

This town appears to go to
This town appears to go to the extreme but there are MANY towns just like this with similar tactics scattered across rural and 'sub-rural' America, along interstates, etc....and it all escalates and gets even worse in amped-up partisan times like these.

The little town of Coburg
The little town of Coburg Oregon, just north of Eugene, was like that for a while with 50% of the town's budget coming from speed traps on I-5. It got so bad, the state legislature got involved and barred the town from enforcing traffic laws on I-5.

That Alabama shit goes way
That Alabama shit goes way beyond speed traps. I really don't understand how, in 2022, it can be that bad, anywhere in this country. It's unchecked racketeering.

In Corvallis, we had officer
In Corvallis, we had officer Cox, who was notorious for busting people for DII's to make quotas, even if they blew a "0".... fucked over a lot of good people (and almost put the entire night life out of biz). Eventually they busted him for it, overturned 150 cases, and fired him... he now lives in Idaho (no surprise), and helps people fight DII's for a living, lol

^^Utah had a famous trooper like that (Lisa Steed) whom also had record-breaking "DUI" arrests and was eventually flushed out and fired but unfortunately long after she also ruined lives under fake and fraudulent means.
