Citizens Fighting Back Against Speed Traps and Tickets

Law enforcement exists to protect and serve, not tax and spend. But things are different in the city of Doraville, Georgia, a 10,000 person suburb of Atlanta that has become notorious for its revenue-generating speed traps and housing code enforcement cases.
Each year, Doraville budgets between 17 and 30 percent of its overall expected revenue to come from fines and fees issued by its police officers and code inspectors. A 2015 Doraville newsletter bragged that “averaging nearly 15,000 cases and bringing in over $3 million annually,” Doraville’s court system “contributes heavily to the city’s bottom line.”
By putting fine revenue into its annual budget, Doraville creates a perverse incentive for police, prosecutors, and even its municipal court to police for profit, rather than seek justice and protect the health and safety of the city.
Drivers and homeowners know this perversion first hand. A report in a local newspaper found that Doraville issues tickets totaling more than $800 per resident annually, writing upwards of 40 tickets per day. Some residents have been threatened with probation or even jail time for simple code violations.
The Supreme Court has made it clear that it is unconstitutional for a justice system to be influenced by perverse incentives to raise municipal revenue. That’s why two Doraville homeowners and two Doraville drivers have partnered with the Institute for Justice to shut down Doraville’s unconstitutional practice of policing for profit.

I’m surprised the city didn’t cite you for filming without a permit!
SHHH! Don't say that! They might be reading this. You don't want to give them any ideas!
Good point👍
Ever heard of the 1st amendment? You could film anything you see on public, can't trespass your eyes.
Kinda defeats the purpose of them getting away with it if your basically snitching on ij
Or walking on the wrong side of a crosswalk (this was the case in one of their other videos).
welcome to the 21st century where you can't truly own your property.
Thats nothing knew buddy. Its been like this since the late 1800s/early 1900s. If you pay property taxes you dont own your property. You're renting it from the government.
@@bobbyrayvictory6905 I've always said the same. The justification I've heard is so that wealthy people don't buy up lots of land and never use it. It helps ensure land is actually used. Okay. If that's true, why is the tax placed on the sole house someone owns? Why not have that property tax kick in starting on the SECOND property that you own?
Pay it, and then file homestead paperwork
@@johndsmith-gv8zh Interesting. I didn't know that was an option. I'm on 4 acres in a very rural area.
Hahaha ha 😆 keep thinking that
A stack of firewood is not ugly, it’s not an eyesore.
A stack of firewood is rustic beauty.
A stack of firewood is a stack of firewood. I can't imagine living somewhere where my stack of firewood needs to be defined, classified and the focus of legal issues... THAT'S sounds like a constitutional problem! Or, Nazi Germany!
When whites want your money it's what ever they say it is....
I agree
Unapologetically BLACK no tickets for firewood in rural white areas. No code enforcement.
And a stack of firewood could also save your life! Of course they don't care about your life!
Fifty years ago, I and a girl friend drove past a country store, filling station and a couple houses. We were not in any hurry whatsoever. We were pulled over for speeding. I had reason to write a letter questioning some aspect of the ticket. The return letter had the names and titles of all the city officials. Four of five had the same last name!
The court house driveway has cracks, they should be fined as well.

@Deplorable Centrist ah yes and they are in charge of judging if their job has been done "reasonably" just like they are in charge of investigating themselves in lieu of a complaint.

My city uses ford explores (Ik every department does) but here they are common cars and the one cops use have regular plates and markings on the side that are reflective that can only be seen if your headlights are shining on them. Oh yeah they also have local high school stickers on the back with one of the family stickers that have the stick figured people to look like it’s a mom car with kids.
When you realize who owns your home and driveway.
If you pay property taxes you dont own your property, youre renting it from the government.

Speed traps seldom have anything to do with public safety and everything to do with generating revenue.
John Ratko I prefer the term “revenue farming “.
But the children.....
Just like red light cameras. City's installed them with the false notion (by the company) that they will make intersections safer. Many citys had them removed because it was proven otherwise and that they only generated revenue. Probably also more paperwork and man hours then the court system wanted.
They have to fund their salery and raises
John Ratko 4 or 5 miles over
Road Pirates! Here's an idea for Doraville. Reduce the number of people working in local government by 40%, police, code enforcement officers, etc., and then eliminate all the policing for profit, and you come out ahead on your local government's budget and your individual liberty.
Inspect all of their properties and levy maximum fines on the police and code enforcement people.
@@patmcbride9853 It's not so much the police staff that are the problem. It's the councillors, accountants and lawyers that are being allowed to run the local government that are the problem. Have a look at their earnings -$$$ - thats the reason for the fines. Get rid of them and local government costs will drop
Or get a hundred or more people and stand up to the people in charge of this and demand they stop "or else".
Liberty4ever here's an idea don't speed or break the law.
I agree with Liberty4ever. Make the Doraville town budget public. I'm sure we would find a lot of ways they could cut spending
The city's finances and spending needs to be scrutinized.
Amen o o aa👍 Yes!! send every citizen a spreadsheet of their spending.
@@joedejesus6363 thats why citizens are supposed to go to their city council budget meetings. Responsible citizens who care that is.
Wow, firewood police actually exist! I thought this was just one of my dystopian fantasies. These people are public servants who have clearly lost sight of their core purpose. Incredible !
This is Piracy. The "judges and police" involved should be in jail. If the town legislators, clerks and mayor are also involved, they should go with them.

@@thomasspringer5187 I'm not sure what your point is. You might want to clarify.
Yes I have American flags. Buried my father under one.
@@russiansquare Not all. Many jurisdictions do not misuse law and abuse authority. You must delineate between those who are criminals with badges, and true lawmen. Otherwise you will find you are also spreading injustice. I hope that you are better than that. If so we can make a meaningful difference. If not, then you will only stoke the flames. Choose wisely.
Michael Foye if cops were honorable they'd hold cops that break the LAW accountable , they don't ! That's the first evidence. If cops were honorable they would honor their oaths of office and not give credence to codes and statue over the law they swore to uphold. There's a second. And if cops were honorable they would bow down to Yahweh and the law He sent down, not satan's codes and statues that defy God's law in that statues oppress and steal the people's property by force or threat of bodily injury under color of law .
As a start get rid of the city officials and cut down the police force first to save money

Yeah, this is not how you build trust between public servants and the public.
Time to take a stand
The fact it was a criminal charge is just bizarre coming from someone that's worked in the justice field
Then you should know how corrupt it is.
punishable by the electric chair
it’s WHY I left law enforcement….and ultimately public service…
but let’s be clear……the JUDICIARY is the CORE of the corruption…….
there are still SOME/FEW honest judges nationwide and such…..but VERY, VERY few
perhaps 10%……law enforcement today is the same….LE no longer serves the people….it serves government….period
PS: I am a 100% law abiding tax paying citizen…..very middle class…NO criminal record…excellent driving record…..have with my wife of 20+ years raised a family with 2 kids now grown of which one is also sworn deputy sheriff……he too is leaving that after JUST 3 years for same reason I did……

15,000 cases annually in a town with a population of only 10,000 residents? Even if as many as half of those citations are issued to non-residents just passing through, that still would mean that an overwhelming majority of the residents in this town are targeted for revenue collection an average of once per year. But it doesn't seem that they can entrap everybody. So they just heap multiple bogus claims onto the ones they can dredge or conjure up any fictitious infraction on.
I live in California and I fought code enforcement in a federal court lawsuit... I didn't win per say but I did prevail and help make change! !
Unfortunately most people do not have the recourses that you probably have to fight a government that will simply use tax payer money to fight your law suit while you are paying your lawyer with food and rent money.
Judges are paid by the city they work for. They make judgements on citations where the city benefits. That is a conflict of interest
Ticket Writing = revenue, when high taxes is not enough.
Joe De Jesus *aren’t enough.

julesoftheNW ugh, no. OP made a conjugation error. Don’t go adding words where they don’t belong, just fix the part that’s broken. 😛 Jeez.
Also, revenue isn’t the right word. Tax-revenue differs in that it comes from fees generated against individuals, companies, or other agencies.
Also, his comma was unnecessary - but that’s a different cat all together.
Just to ask: Are the judges paid by the same city that their judgements fund?

The BTK killer was a code enforcement officer, just saying. He went around measuring peoples grass and grabbing up dogs and had a collection of their collars and tags. Takes a special kind of sadist to work code enforcement. Before he was caught the kids in the neighborhood used to hide when he would drive by, figured it was just a silly kids game, seems they knew better than the adults.
Absolutely so right
they should also investigate how much the city officials are making in salaries. I have heard of mayors getting well over a hundred thousand dollars for basically a part time job.
Amen
ronald bouvette Our local mayor from a decade ago went to prison for fraud. He was making a lot more than a 100K a year. Had figured out how to pay himself out of non profit money. half a million that they could prove.
" Breaker,Breaker" with Chuck Norris, good movie.
Sounds like something straight from the minds of Boss Hogg and Rosco P. Coltrane.
Where do you suppose they got the idea? Hmm... ..not so funny anymore, huh?
Little bit of "Homer Simpson" as well.
Sounds like they're describing the federal government!
This is where "Gubmint" has really gone off the rails, turning a matter of the condition of the driveway on a property belonging to a middle-aged, LAW ABIDING woman, without notice nor clear explanation of what would meet code, nor even a case that the condition of the driveway actually violated Doraville's municipal codes. It's "pitch forks and torches" time!
This happens all over this nation, it's gotten to the point where you are afraid to go anywhere. But law enforcement wants us to respect them, Respect is earned not just given. how can we respect them when they act like crooks.
Obey the damned law, and , guess what?, no speeding tickets!!!! Are you people really that dense that you can't figure that out??
What about getting pulled over because your tires touched the center line- of course first thing they ask is "have you been drinking"- obviously you are weaving uncontrollably to do something so heinous. Or not using your turn signal when turning onto a one way street? Or how about turning on their flashing lights just to blast through an intersection, just to turn them off once through? Or writing citations for littering when people throw cigarette butts down, but when a cop throws one out of his police vehicle (in which smoking is not allowed) and it is reported-- well, we'll look into it. All personal experiences.
Friend of mines son trained to be an officer in northern Virginia. Getting close to graduation, gave it up; policy was to "patrol aggressively", pull someone over and see what all you can cite them for. After experiencing this on ride alongs, saw this was an abuse of authority.
My father was a career federal law enforcement officer; I grew up around city, state, FBI and even INTERPOL officers. These guys were professionals. Most of the police I encounter today are big mouth arrogant asses with a gun and a badge that believe in threats, fear and intimidation. They constantly harass and badger anyone they know has a record, especially young women. They're not protecting the community, they're nothing but bullies. Sorry, I have very little respect for today's law enforcement that are only "doing their jobs."
Bullshit. If everyone stayed at exactly the speed limit or less they start giving out "1 mph over" tickets, or "you signaled your turn at 99 feet instead of the required 100ft" and so on and so on. They WILL get the revenue they are after by any means until they are stopped. Unfortunately they only way to stop them is to try and use the corrupt and broken system that allows them to do this stuff in the first place.
I hope and pray that the Institute for Justice will respond to my desperate plea for help after hurricane Harvey hit Rockport Texas and the city has made a motion (Oct22, 2018 hearing) to demolish my concrete block houses that don't have any damage except to the roof and the resulting water damage to the interior. These houses have survived numerous hurricanes since the 1960's and been repaired, but these days Texas Wind Insurance (TWIA) is not paying claims, contractors are tripling their prices and the code enforcers are demanding thousands of dollars in engineering, architectural and other expenses that don't have anything to do with fixing the darn roof. To add far greater misery to the hurricane, I even had an engineer tell me that she herself couldn't afford to replace her own windows due to the "certification" required and the lack of simple competition among mfrs due to the legal and regulatory requirements of storm window "certification."
We just want to repair the roof and hurricane water damage and the city of Rockport wants to knock down the houses at our expense because we can't pay for THEIR UNNECESSARY REGULATORY REQS on top of the inflated prices charged during a disaster...HELP!!!!!!!

I live in Georgia for 27 years. I contacted the GBI that the town I lived in is making bogus tickets from code enforcement. They told me that there was nothing I could do about it. So glad you’re fighting for us! When the city officials found out I did this, I was harassed by police, code enforcement , and the dog pound for 5 years. My family was military and we moved to the city for the family env. What a lie that was!
Waaaay back in the 1960's we all knew that driving through Georgia was risky because of its notorious reputation for bogus traffic tickets. It looks like some things never change. Fortunately, I no longer have a need to visit this state.
If you actually want people to slow down and drive more safely, you put marked cars out on the road where they are clearly visible to drivers. THAT gets people to actually slow down. Hiding the enforcement mechanism doesn't make people safer. It's just for taking people's money. In fact, it encourages people to unsafely brake when they finally see the speed trap, thus making roads MORE dangerous. The way to actually make the road safer is just to put an officer is a marked vehicle in the flow of traffic, driving safely as a clear example to others.
That cuts down on speeding but doesn't make money, the bottom line.
Reminds me of old west stagecoach robbers.
Word to Big Bird.
Why not just drive the speed limit and not get ticketed?
You'll have flying cars soon enough, "evolution"
I wonder how many of mayor's, judges's and and police relatives receive fines?
I was pulled over and taken to jail there. Cop said I was changing lanes without singling... Came to my car and said it smelled to good.. So they had to see if I was covering up a smell. I get out and they fine something they thought was marijuana. So to jail I go, they take my car when my friend was there and willing to take the car back home but no. I spend the night in jail, for nothing at all. Get bail, go home. Later that year we go to court, and they try to take the vid. Witch was all my evidence, so the judge said no. We watch the vid and find out he lied. Boom, non marijuana, and no lane change bio. $75 and I go home. Point being, they lied, planted weed on me, took my car, and more. I beat the case because of a good lawyer. Stay away from that county. Speed traps at both exits. Most nights of the week.

It all started when they added court costs to your fine. Growing up in the 70's ,you paid the fine and that was it. They saw a gold mine .
Driveway is private property . I don't understand how they can fine you?
Cannot see how it is criminal. If they want to take civil action,maybe so. Would have to be liens,tax assessment, etc. Looks like they took it too far.
@Jeffrey Kelley: No doubt!
Jeffrey Kelley sure they do, corrup city officials stole the money for the roads, then they double dip by pulling over the motorists for weaving around the pot holes, "I stopped you for weaving"
It’s private property! You do what you want to your own PROPERTY
Do you pay "Property Taxes? If "Yes", then, Who you pay owns what you think is 'your' Property. Fail to pay for 3 to 5 years (depending on the County), and you'll find out who owns 'your' property.
yup... property tax = rent

They are all for profit! Wake up people!
Only mistake the town made was going after it's own citizens..... A sheriff's depety told me that he was told to give warrnings to county residents for minor traffic infractions because if they ticketed too many residents it would be difficult at the Sheriff election
Funny how that works. BTW, that's almost any town USA.
Police departments should be abolished. Cheif's and policies appointed by politicians. It doesn't follow "of the people, by the people, for the people" like the sheriff who is elected by the people in his district.
Where they have town meetings they can't get enough town's people to the meetings to have a quorum
Need GA to pass a law restricting to a % of revenue a town can use from fines. The excess must go to the state and slows the incentive
Well done ; do keep us informed on the outcome.
I totally agree that speed traps are generally for revenue and not public safety, but I wish the local sheriff would put one up on my street....50 in a 30 just doesn't work for me.

The Bible says the world is given into the hands of the wicked.
Towns like this especially police are so corrupt. If the police ever try to give a person a speeding ticket while they're making a turn or going around a curve. You can always challenge the ticket in court. Radar is known to give false readings on curves. Oftentimes the radar will read another car. But the first vehicle that pulls over is the first vehicle to get the ticket. A lot of times the police officer won't show up to court and the ticket is automatically thrown out. The speeding radar reading is almost never saved and without that in court the ticket is usually thrown out of Court.
What was the outcome with Doraville? Acworth, GA does the same with speed traps. They now have speed cameras to issue tickets to people passing through along some of the rural highways that pass through their city limits.
Has to be a outrageously high overhead method of collecting revenue on top of everything else.
June 4, 2019, Doraville will be in federal court defending their "revenue based enforcement" policy.

@@aaronstorey9712 I just checked. In July the citizens won the right to sue the city. The city must respond to the citizens complaint within a given time period.

I'm so happy you made this. I avoid Doraville at all costs. Savannah, Tennessee is a town you need to check into as a speed trap.
"Devil Went Down to Georgia" played at the beginning of the video. 😃
Take a Real Good Look PEOPLE! This is only test town!
This was some years ago, but there was an undercover cop driving in a van next to my boyfriend and I. He was taking be back to college, and it was in a small town so we're out in the boonies. We didn't know, but up ahead the streets merged up ahead. The van next to us kept speed..just enough to be right next to us so we had a choice to either speed up after we suddenly saw the merging sign, or slow down. My boyfriend, now husband, sped up. It wasn't by much. Just enough to get around the douche who was clearly cock blocking us to pressure us into doing what he wanted. He wasn't considered speeding until he sped up to pass the van. The undercover cop turned his lights on to pull us over and gave my boyfriend a ticket. Which he had to go out of his way to pay making it harder to contest since it was far out from where he lives. That was a legitimate speed trap. He knew college students drove around there, and he knew what he was doing in that specific area when he was pinning us to push us to make the wrong decision cause otherwise we would've hit if we didn't go forward or back. It definitely makes people mistrust the justice system when they do crap like that, and I definitely think there needs to be retribution for the wrongdoing for an easy squeeze of revenue.
To add on with the video with the driveway, I'm pretty sure after she fixes it up it also means they can inflate on taxes. One of the reasons why people don't really go out of their way to make their place nice sometimes is because of that so she'd have to pay for the driveway and extra incentive via taxes due to an increase of property value 🙄
And about the guy who's making cool furniture, it's just another means of controlling resources because who wants productive people who can live apart from the bigger companies that help fund this ludicrous, corrupt system?

I was driving down a back road in my town to go home after visiting a sick friend. On the way, I thought to call my wife to see if she needed me to stop for milk or bread. I pulled into a turnout to get off the road, shut off my car and called her on my cell phone. A town police officer pulled in behind me and asked what I was doing, I explained the situation and thought it was the end. First he tried to accuse me of using a cell phone while driving, I told him that it was obvious that I wasn't driving. Then he tried to say I was impeding traffic. During this incident, not one car went by. I explained that I was off the road. He was determined to write me up, but I answered every question with my legal right to sit there and use my phone. When he had used his tricks, and wasn't successful, he left. I now have a dashcam in case there is another attempt to rob me.
We have By-Law Enforcement in the City I used to live in. These guys used to go around taking pictures over the top of peoples back yard fences to find violations or to see if your grass was too long. I don't live there anymore.
It seem as if you allare liveing in cuba or venezuela maybe iraq are somalia country that is a cuminist county
They done lost their damn minds.
Nice sneakers, 2 different colors. Taking pictures while in your yard sounds like trespassing.
This is exactly why I will never travel through Georgia. When I was younger they did the same thing to my father and my father wasn't even speeding but how do you prove that when you are from out-of-state. I was in the car with my father so I know what speed he was going at. My father never drove fast he was always a Slowpoke if anything. This was 30 years ago so I can only imagine how much ruthlessness has occurred since then. I pray for those people and any other city that citizens are going through this. Don't forget though God will have the last word on these type of people.
I ONCE GOT A WRONGFULL TICKET, BEAT IT IN COURT, BUT STILL HAD TO PAY $$$!
Late one evening few years ago, I was driving home in WESTMINSTER, CO. I encountered a police sobriety checkpoint. I was asked to do a couple sobriety tests which I passed, no problem. Before I was allowed to leave, the officer asked to see my license, insurance, and registration. I handed him my license and registration.
I also showed her my insurance card on my iPhone. (Colorado had just legalized digital insurance cards 2 months prior). She told me I needed a paper insurance card. Since I didn't have one, she wrote me a ticket for being "uninsured" which cartird a $240 fine. I also had a mandatory court date.
So, I decided I'd fight the bogus ticket and beat it. I had to take a day off work (thus losing a days wages!) I went to court, O had to hand over my license to the court clerk, was told I'd get it back when I left. I prooved I was insured, pointed out that digital insurance cards are permitted, and (with due respect) that the cop was in error. The judge agreed and dismissed the ticket. I thought "Great, I won!". But when I went to the court clerk to retrieve my licrnse, I was told I'd have to pay a $230 "administrative fee" before I could get my license back. I said the ticket was dismissed. The clerk told me "Well, several administrators had to arrange and handle your ticket, and we need to collect to pay for their services".
They were holding my license for ransom, so I ended up paying the "administrative fee". 😠
BUT, I GOT REVENGE! As a matter of principle, and to keep Westminster from profiting from my bogus ticket and kangaroo court admin fees, I went to the city water treatnent plant late at night a few weeks later, and with a BB gun, shot out the side windows on 5 service trucks parked there!

This is EXACTLY why we have the Second Amendment!
@101327 Indeed it is, remove these politicians.
Sounds like NYC.
Bloomberg had financed his pet projects this way.
De Blasio is financing his social programs this way.
1:25 Guilty of mismatched shoes.
Congratulations! You meet the hiring standards to be a Doraville, GA code enforcer.
Good eye, by the way!😉
@@SMac-bq8sk Thanks, life would be better for the Doraville residents because I'm a firm believer in civil disobedience. But, mismatched shoes, some things are better left to clowns.
cracks in a driveway thats on private property. That is total B.S. Law enforcement needs to be held accountable and charged with criminal behavior.
If it's a criminal offence. Demand a jury case. All jury have o be non employees of the state.
You dropped this...T
Those pig's front windows are also tinted beyond code
Remember , when the shooting begins , go for the head , not the vest.
For those who lack range time and the head is too small a target, thighs make a great and usually vulnerable target as well. A thigh shot can easily tear the Femoral Artery and there is little chance of not falling victim to the blood loss in a fire fight. Shattering the Femor also leaves the recipient unable to walk to further safety.
@@LibertyWarrior1776 shoot them in the crotch that way even if they survive they can't reproduce.
@nazicops if you insist
And one in the nuts like I did in those canyons over there no mercy
I always shoot for the head. Best line in Resident Evil Apocalypse. It's best to shoot them in the head. Zombies, Code Enforcers and the wicked Judges.
Why do I feel I am going to need the institute for justice one day.
Filming without a license from the city? Yeah there's gonna be a fine for that -Doraville Police
The town got away with it because this case went to another judge who dismissed summery judgment. Now that’s a big surprise.
I got a ticket years ago in Doraville when I was living in Norcross. I didn’t know I was in the city limits of Doraville and was surprised when the officer told me he was ticketing me for speeding and that the posted limit was much lower than I thought. Needless to say I was definitely exceeding the limit he told me. He tried to get me for an out of state license plate but fortunately I had ample documentation that I was currently employed and had a home out of state and that my wife an I were living in the greater Atlanta area temporarily for her work.
They did make it super confident to pay… 😉
They asked me how long I have been living in Georgia with a SC tag. I said I was just visiting and have been using my SC tag for 23 years. No smog, inspection and super low Property taxes.
"Skulking around" sounds right.
Sounds a lot like Hopewell, VA where they have 2 patrol cars patrolling their ~1 mile stretch of I-295 that goes around Richmond, VA.
Un-Bloody-Believable, shocking.
If you haven’t heard, Turbeville, SC does the speed trap to keep revenue coming in. It’s a dry town and the locals are sick of the traps.
Whether it’s someone robbing a cash till, or an gov agent robbing a property owner, stealing is stealing.
