They ticketed me for parking illegally but I'm rich?!?!?????!?

Aren't there townships in the US that literally survive on setting up bogus cameras and ticketing people who pass by? Doesn't some private equity company get to ticket people in chicago?

Yeah Chicago Parking LLC is owned by Morgan Stanley, in 2008 they signed a 75 year lease for it.

You are thinking of the UAE. One of the big investors is an Abu Dhabi investment fund.

The townships will control 1 mile of interstate and will ticket anyone who speeds on that one mile. Traffic tickets are internally considered as a source of revenue in most local governments. Not as a safety program.

If the bogus cameras replaced the racist cops, that would be cool. But it's just supplementary income for the racist cops.
