The Wild West of Ticketing is ridiculous. An investigation into the law enforcement agency in Ferguson, Missouri, found incriminating evidence that show law official’s taking purposely taking money out of low-income people as well as poor people pockets “disproportionally African Americans-to put into court and city coffers”(Bingham, et. al).

Brennan Center for justice at New York University School of Law identified five essential recommendations that advocates against the increase and incarnation for criminal justice debt. They are (1) Conduct Impact Analysis of Proposed and Existing Fees (2) Create and Enforce Exemptions for Indigence (3) Eliminate Unnecessary Interest, Late Fees, and Collateral Consequences; (4) End Incarceration and Supervision for Non-Willful Failure to Pay and (5) Focus on Rehabilitation through Meaningful Workforce Development: The 1st key reform which is to conduct impact analysis of proposed and existing fees is to focus on revenue. Studies suggest that both fees and fines in police ticketing have a financial and social cost in which does not support ticketing. Key reform number 2 was formed to break and get rid of poverty and debt. …show more content…
It created exemptions for indigent people successfully enforces them. It will create exemptions and even opportunities that will eventually petition for waivers. Debt created by traffic ticketing has little chances of generating revenue for states and some say it’s even unjust. “A comprehensive system for exemptions includes an up-front determination by the court of a person’s ability to pay, prior to the imposition of fees and fines” (Patel &Philp). The courts would set up systems to have up-front money values determined by the courts based on their ability to pay. The Brenna center for justice says this process is necessary in order for everyone to avoid penalties for people who have failure to pay ticket debts. This would create timely abilities to pay saving states money by avoiding “needless costs incurred in fertile collection attempts” (Patel & Philip). The 3rd key reform would Eliminate Unnecessary Interest, Late Fees, and Collateral Consequences. There are some places that exemptions are not possible. For this we can create policies that would reduce the debt and the burden of debt. By eliminating interest rates and any late fees debt would become more manageable. There would be no need for collateral punishment as it would make obtaining employment hard and thus making it harder to make payments. It was proven in some states that by eliminating unnecessary interest more people was making successful payments on time and found employment helping pay debts faster. The 4th key reform would end Incarceration and Supervision for Non-Willful Failure to Pay. “Criminal justice debt ensures that people who are no threat to public safety remain enmeshed in the system” (Patel & Philip). Those who face the chance of going back to prison for re-incarceration and further supervision do not have the right to counsel. This is a constitution problem and raise questions, making states costs high, and public safety. This makes your resources diverted. The 5th key reform focus on Rehabilitation through Meaningful Workforce Development. This program would offer methods for paying off your debt. This includes but is not limited to community service and court jury duty. This in the long run would improve people who want long term jobs to enroll. By them enrolling it would improve reentry prospects and provides most states eventually all states another method to collect debt.

Michael Heberling suggests there be cops stationed at each intersection that has the most red light tickets. More so because the cameras are used for revenue; For example he found that “a citation for running a red light can cost up $270 in some cities” (Heberling, 2002) using the example of San Diego grossing more than $30 million from 19 traffic light cameras. This just goes to prove the point mentioned earlier that the cameras are just for revenue. In “District of Columbia The Dallas-based affiliated computer services (ACS) received $32.50 for every ticket issued and the District got the rest” (Heberling,
