The Legislature wants your money

To All Pennsylvania Drivers:

Drivers: the Legislature wants your money. They will get your money by giving RADAR to municipal police with Speed Trap Bill SB 607.

They can’t raise taxes directly, so they have invented a non-existent crisis, and are furiously trying to pass into law their solution: RADAR for municipal police, Speed Trap Bill SB 607, which will bring in scores of millions of dollars from traffic tickets.

The invented (non) crisis is a “speeding” epidemic. But out of 2.7 million traffic accidents recorded in twenty-five states over the course of a year, only 1.6 percent were caused by drivers who exceeded the posted speed limit. So there is no speeding epidemic.

The Legislature doesn’t care. They want your money.

Everyone has to drive, and some Legislators consider drivers to be a captive revenue source. They want to prey on drivers by aggressively enforcing unsafe, too-low speed limits using RADAR to ticket safe drivers.

Traffic-enforcement-for-profit is a huge industry that the Legislature wants to make even bigger: you will pay, and pay, and pay if Speed Trap Bill SB 607 is enacted.

The only way to stop the Legislature is for drivers to rise up and tell them NO to Speed Trap Bill SB 607. Contact your Representative and Senator and tell them in no uncertain terms to vote NO on Speed Trap Bill SB 607. Thank you.
