I don't have a problem with the laws. I have a problem with the exorbinant amount of money they want for a carpool violation. It shouldn't be about the money it should be about public safety, if people aren't following the laws because the fines aren't high enough then maybe they should think of another way of punishing people besides taking their money. Maybe something that is a a little more of a level playing field, liking taking people's time. Cops make mistakes and people make mistakes and it shouldn't take a second mortgage to finance a ticket. To a lot of people $1000 is a lot of money.
Saying I know the laws and so I should not break them is weak argument... (and this isn't about the laws is about the punishment) Laws and punishment shouldn't be about money and to me this clearly is.
