we pay more for insurance because the companies own legislators and the double-dipping between taxes and our pockets arnt paying what the greedy CEO's feel like they should be making
You pay more in insurance because of profits, the excuse is what you put out there. A private company should not be collecting fines and fees for government.
If you can’t pay the ticket go to court. Everyone should know this as it is on the ticket. When you go to court you are presented with options. they will setup payment plans, allow you to pay off the fine by doing community service or even reduce the fine. Also if the officer that gave you the ticket doesn’t show up they can dismiss it. I have had this happen twice on traffic tickets and multiple times with parking tickets.
Absolutely!!!! 👍 These ppl think if they just ignore the tickets they'll go away 🤣🤣🤣 Oopsy!!! 😢 She acts like she's the only poor person who got a ticket and there is no solution
You need to escape from Texas. The rich are arrogant rulers and they need to be fled from otherwise they are going to enslave the poor. Flee Texas while you can.
Last time I got a ticket I went to court, and they threw out the ticket completely, I didn't have to pay a dime. Granted I was stopped for going 10 miles above the speed limit and had expired insurance information on me. All I had to do was present my insurance information in court and they said I was free to go. Not everyone is going to get written a ticket by a jerk cop like I did for doing something that was hardly egregious. But still go to court as people are saying here, they may reduce the payment fee.
If you can’t afford to pay a ticket, the first thing you do is appear in court and ask for an alternative, you can’t just ignore it and let it balloon to an insane amount… it’s called being an adult, go take responsibility for your mistakes.

It’s because it’s Texas, where voter ID laws are exist. If 600,000 people lose their ID to vote its adds up. Normally I’d agree with you, in any state, but when it comes to a state that increasingly makes it harder to vote I give pause.
@@cgallegos2106 Your DL still counts as an Identification Card even after suspension because it didn't expire. So you can still vote. A suspension is put on your file in the DMV, they (Gov't) don't come and physically take your DL.
Ehhhh, cops these days kinda just pick a random person and give them a ticket if they’re even 5 miles over the speed limit to get brownie points for the month quota.
If you do the speed limit or under you still get pulled over for not keeping up with the flow of traffic. It’s an extortion racket for local municipalities
Cops issue the most tickets between 9 am and 3 pm. It's harder to get pulled over during morning or afternoon rush hours. The people out driving during those slow periods tend to be retirees, delivery drivers, housewives and the unemployed. I should know because I have only ever gotten traffic tickets during those hours... and I was unemployed every time.
Well for your information Texas is very rigid when it comes to these things and if you truly can't pay there's not a lot of options and some people like myself who literally couldn't pay what they wanted and I'm talking about their payment plan we get the shaft if it wasn't for my uncle I would never have been able to afford to pay mine and again I literally could not pay the only payment plan that they offered me I physically could not afford it and pay my bills so whil yes people should pay what they owe the state should also be more flexible and not punish people based on their financial status
@@oliverstoys8411 have you ever tried to navigate your way from home to work using only public transit? It takes a very long time and a lot of walking, for reasons that are complicated, but mainly based on the reality that public transit is desgned to only serve the working poor and since ppl who arent poor dont want those who are to easily reach or move through their communities, the routes are circuitous and janky. I had a car in a shop an hour drive away. It would have taken me 4 hrs to get there via public transit, according to my own state's travel calculator. Who can spend hours and hours just to get to and from work, especially if you also have kids to pick up?
Pay the ticket. It wasn't a surprise that you owe it. Go to court and get on a payment plan if you can't afford it all at once or fight the ticket if you feel it was unjust.
"If the penalty for a crime is incarceration, that law only exists for those with daily responsibilities (e.g., jobs)." A line I just made up to refute your silliness.
Even if the penalty isn't a fine, and it's something more serious like Jeffrey Epstiene then our justice system makes exceptions in those situations also because of money. He was essentially a free man when they had enough evidence to lock him away for decades in Florida.

Honestly it is her own fault. Texas license I can be valid up to 6 years so therefore you cannot say she did not know anything about theses tickets. I am sure there was other ways she would have been notified specially if license is not valid the how is she getting her car registration passed every year?
When you go get your registration they don't check your license status. The registration is thru the county not the DMV here in Texas. You can register a car and not be able to drive it simply means you own the vehichle.
Most cities don’t notify. I had a ticket that I didn’t know about. Only reason I found out is because I went for an unrelated ticket and they told me I had a warrant lol.
Mostly everyone can pay the tickets, especially during years. She thought she could just ignore the tickets but they didn't go away. If you can't afford it, don't get tickets, that's what I do. If she went to every court date and asked to pay $5 or $10 a month, it'd be already payed. She's no victim, the name of the game is "I gambled and I lost"
If you don't pay your credit card bills, it will ruin your credit. Just makes me wonder how people think in our society they can get away without paying their bills?
@@Concepcion30 credit cards are a little different. There are many who are either in a really tight spot when they get a card (or cards) and/or don't understand credit cards, and they end up in a debt growing as fast or faster than they are able to pay off. It's remarkably common, and it can be very difficult to try and get out of that. I've known several who had to do it and did, but it was a lengthy and arduous struggle for them.
Wrong in Texas Omnibase tacks on a huge fee so in order to get your license back you have to pay the surcharge..courts can't waive the surcharge. Some counties here in Texas do not allow payment plans also. Going to court and paying $10 each time isn't possible in alot of counties. I take it you aren't in Texas
It’s quite revealing about our current societal state that in one of the wealthiest nations globally, the average individual struggles to afford a $300 ticket. This situation underscores a significant disparity and points to deeper systemic issues that need addressing.
So, people who break the law shouldn't be held accountable? Last time I checked, having a drivers license is a privilege and not a right in this country. Abide by traffic laws and you won't get a ticket, or, if you do want to break the law, then accept the consequence for doing so, and pay your ticket rather than the $8 a day starbucks latte. Most people have a problem with budgeting, spending money they don't have on things that aren't necessities. Accountability isn't apart of some weird deep "systemic issue" that us as a country needs to work on. Are there alot of issues regarding cost of living, rent prices are through the roof, groceries and gas are crazy expensive (at least here in california), sure there are. But traffic tickets are not one of those. They've been a thing in this country since way before the middle class started to disappear. Just now with technology, it's a bit easier to catch those petty traffic violations.
@@davidpaz9389Yes actually, poor access to drivers' ed, so the important stuff gets missed, and DMV staff that are overworked, so more people slip through than should.
@@bmarino27You're half right there, driving _should_ be a privilege, however thanks to various "advancements" in Modern society, it's become _almost_ as necessary as food and water in order to survive and continue to participate in Society. Particularly if you're stuck living up in a neighborhood 15-20 minutes' drive on the Highway from the nearest job, with no walkable/bikable route, or public transportation and hand-me-down tech.
Texas has privatized the ticket collection and I bet they have raised the price of tickets to pay for the service in fees and prices. Once you get a ticket the cost quickly spirals out of control until you cannot pay for the ticket.
Hate to burst your bubble but that’s how it is in every state. You don’t pay your ticket then you get fees. Still don’t pay, then more fees, eventually you get a warrant and more fees. Texas isn’t special. This is the way tickets work in every state and every country.
@@JAlexanderCurtis Hate to burst your bubble but not every state using a private company to collect fees and fines. Private company sole function is to make a profit. That is the problem. Private companies have no bussiness collecting fees and fine for the government.
I support this. Don't drive bad, don't get tickets, appeal the ticket or pay them. If you are that irresponsible, then you shouldn't be driving. Irresponsible drivers shouldn't be endangering the responsible drivers.
I am independently wealthy and I agree with this: I gladly pay a $300 fee to drive as fast as I want on public roads. Only the wealthy should be allowed to drive irresponsibly. The rest of the Poors should stay off of our roads, for Heaven's Sake...
@@robkoper841 shame on you for being a bad driver. But at least you pay the fine, that's money government has to cover damages and injuries you cause on the road. Nobody should be allowed to be bad drivers without consequences, no the rich or the poor.
I guess you don’t know there are such things are speed traps, especially towns that make over half their budget I’m going after out of town residence passing through. There’s several towns that literally have 200 people in town and 50 cops on the payroll because all they do is write tickets to make a massive amount support the little town. Sorry, but just be careful that you don’t think you know more than you really know in life.d
The lack of accountability is sickening.. you can go on a payment plan or better yet stop making bad decisions it's not that hard people stop messing up people's insurance because you decide to drink and drive.. or because you don't want to follow the law and not pay for your consequences.. they should just revoke their licenses after the 3rd ticket and issue a warrant for skipping court
@@origin0000 I'm talking about increase in insurance premiums due to uninsured drivers causing accidents and if you can't afford to legally drive then don't.. it's not criminalizing the poor it's called be a responsible person.. there is public transportation and there are jobs where than can work remotely. It's all about looking for those opportunities rather than see yourself as a victim and blaming everyone for your misfortune
btw, Texas used to brag about not doing things like this, as a talking point to suggest other states are violating peoples rights. Hypocrisy. This is fascist stuff.
During my time as a rideshare driver, I picked up a over a dozen tickets and challenged them all in court. I had about a 90% success rate. 7 yrs on, I still have a perfect driving record. Big lesson is to avoid them as much as possible. If you eventually get the tickets, pay it or go to court. Do Not Sleep On It. Driving is my freedom 🙌
@@joelagrinsoni4016 I never said driving was a right. I just said Driving is MY Freedom. To you, driving could mean something else. I hope you didn't get my comment wrong.
If that’s really true then you live in a different place than many places around this country. Or maybe you have a camera in your car that also shows what speed you were going. I’ve actually watched hundreds of trials online that are streamed and several Traffic court hearings. And I’ve seen judges who absolutely take the word of the cop no matter how convincing the Citizen is, that’s what happens most of the time. But you may live in an area where the cops don’t even wanna show up for tryouts because I know most people aren’t gonna go, so maybe that’s how you got them dismissed. But a lot of places the cop show up every time. Probably the only other way what you’re saying is possible is if you live in a place that I think I live in where they just waive the tickets for you. I got three tickets that I deserved and they waive them all and just had me pay court costs. I don’t know why they would do that unless maybe the court just feels like The ticket money is gonna go to the state in the county, so they would rather just dismiss the tickets and get the court fees paid directly to the city 100%.
My parents have never gotten a ticket and my grandparents never gotten a ticket. I haven't gotten a ticket. We all lived in Texas and learned and followed the driving laws it's not rocket science rather easy thing to learn.
All of my moms speeding tickets in Texas have been dismissed because she argued the officer clocked a different driver. All of her tickets were given incorrectly.
When states privatize law enforcement like this, money becomes more important than keeping people safe and in turn, hurts more people than it's helping. It's time for Texas taxpayers to stop paying big corporations like Omnibase to do what the state should be doing and making huge profits with taxpayer dollars. Omnibase has turned a way to keep our roads safe into a way to make money and now, that's the real motivation.
Some people don't have the money in time, many people don't know the options of community service. Having your license suspended isn't a joke either. It ruins your life. It also violates the 5th and 14th admendments. But you know what they say. A liberal is just a conservative who hasn't been mugged yet.
Washington suspended drivers license for unpaid tickets and the jails got filled up with poor people caught driving on suspended. It ended up costing the state more than the unpaid tickets so they finally offered a forgiveness program. These hard line tactics end up backfiring.
@@JebusHypocristosX I get you are extremely dim!

imagine your job as a driver or even so u must drive to go to work , this it's just nuts , how the hel they want poor people to pay their unknown tickets if they suspend the driver license ? just asking
Yeah, see I’d normally think this should be the rule everywhere in the country, suspended licenses (and I’d add temporary hold on vehicle) until tickets are paid. The problem I have with this, is it’s Texas. So that means ~600,000 voters being removed from the election. A state which mandates voter ID and does everything in its power to limit voter turnout, this is a major red flag.
It's already a method of paying a ticket. You go to court and if you don't get the ticket dismissed you can ask for community service. If you owe for tickets you didn't show up for court then you need to contact them and ask for community service. Sure it's easier to ask the judge at court for community service the other way probably takes longer because of paperwork or people.
Given the increasing deaths on USA roads which probably isn't correlated with good driving and excessive policing, punishment for not paying tickets isn't the highest concern in my mind.
Yea lots of drug needles in parking lots and aids signs near hotels! Texas no thanks! A power grid about to fail! A senator that flees the state! Republicans nut jobs running a failed state!
In my state, it is up to those that drive to be a responsible driver, obey laws and pay any tickets. Unpaid ticket you cant get your registration each year, goes on your record, affects your insurance too. This is exactly what should happen. Again, those that think they can do as they wish with no repercussions. Driving is a privilege not an entitlement.
easy solution is to invest in public transit, which is safe, affordable for everyone, and equitable in utility and access. Texas doesn't bring in enough tax dollars from its citizens to pay for its road upkeep, it depends on federal government hand outs to pave and repave roadways. those roadways force every citizen, rich or poor to have to put aside money for a car and insurance, which is a financial ball and chain for everyone. Car accidents have long been in the top causes of death and injury in America. So each person pays more individually for transit, where they put their lives at risk everyday, using infrastructure that only degrades and is the most wasteful money sink of tax payer money than any other form of infrastructure. Build a F#$%$*% train or street car system and be done with it already. tax payers buy once, cry once, happy forever after.
Nobody. State and local governments contract with private companies all the time. You'd be surprised how much government work is simply overseeing contractors.
Now that they have to pay for their stupidity they act like they’re victims. Drive correctly, park where you should then you won’t have this problem. Oh and pay your fines right after you get them. Stop making excuses!
@@theadjuster6760 you got it backwards I'm talking about the insurance companies of the normal licensed drivers that the newly unlicensed and probably now uninsured drivers will create claims against.

Play you have to pay sometimes
You are not understanding what they are saying. These laws are more harmful or hurtful to low income indivudals because they cant afford to pay. People with higher incomes can break these laws and then just pay the fine and then do it again
@@wack8589We're not arguing that the lady in the video is right for not paying her fines. We're arguing that if a law like this only affects people who don't pay off their fines, then those who can't afford to pay off the fines will lose their license. Drivers who get tons of tickets but can afford to pay them off won't lose their licenses. An ideal law would be one that strips the license of people who get tons of tickets, not just people who can't afford to pay their crimes away.
While I can see how some people may be unfairly affected, I don't think it's as much people as you'd think. Plus, being a good driver is always an option. I've had zero tickets since i started driving and have only been pulled over once because I was speeding, something that was my fault and entirely avoidable. It's not like low income people are forced to speed or run red lights.
And if they're driving a beater, that's good enough reason for the police to see what else they are trying to get away with. Insurance and registration, ma'am. Hmm, you been drinking? One thing usually leads to another. Step One, as you said, is to follow the traffic laws and keep your registration and inspection current.
Repeat all these states want to do is take your money and take your freedom. Driving should be a right, not a privilege. And people need to start thinking about that driving is a right not a privilege
Everything disproportionally affects the poor, with the exception of yacht taxes and a few others. "Disproportionally affects the poor" is no excuse to change laws that are otherwise reasonable.

Will the new stop saying minority communities white people have the same issue too and yes white people are poor as well it's not just black and brown people stop making everything about the race
Community service is how you pay for fines without coming out of pocket. The court has to take a person's income and situation under consideration, but you have to ask for it. I went with homeless organizations to give food to people out on the streets and my fines were completed
Except in order to do community service, most of the time you have to perform it during business hours for it to be verified. That means a lot of people can't work until their CS is finished. That means they have even less money. People lose their jobs because of CS all the time. I just snowballs.
@@wack8589 maybe, maybe not, both irrelevant. Impeding a person's ability to generate self income was declared unconstitutional countless times over the past 200 years. 7 times at the Supreme Court.

Cops issue the most tickets between 9 am and 3 pm. It's harder to get pulled over during morning or afternoon rush hours. The people out driving during those slow periods tend to be retirees, delivery drivers, housewives and the unemployed. I should know because I have only ever gotten traffic tickets during those hours... and I was unemployed every time.
Imagine having to pay your tickets like everything else and not having everyone else pay for your bad decisions
Well for your information Texas is very rigid when it comes to these things and if you truly can't pay there's not a lot of options and some people like myself who literally couldn't pay what they wanted and I'm talking about their payment plan we get the shaft if it wasn't for my uncle I would never have been able to afford to pay mine and again I literally could not pay the only payment plan that they offered me I physically could not afford it and pay my bills so whil yes people should pay what they owe the state should also be more flexible and not punish people based on their financial status
Imagine a private company making a profit off the back of the population. The government should handle this not a middle man.

@@oliverstoys8411 have you ever tried to navigate your way from home to work using only public transit? It takes a very long time and a lot of walking, for reasons that are complicated, but mainly based on the reality that public transit is desgned to only serve the working poor and since ppl who arent poor dont want those who are to easily reach or move through their communities, the routes are circuitous and janky. I had a car in a shop an hour drive away. It would have taken me 4 hrs to get there via public transit, according to my own state's travel calculator. Who can spend hours and hours just to get to and from work, especially if you also have kids to pick up?

Pay the ticket. It wasn't a surprise that you owe it. Go to court and get on a payment plan if you can't afford it all at once or fight the ticket if you feel it was unjust.
"If the penalty for a crime is a fine, that law only exists for the lower classes," A line that has stuck with me since high school.
"If the penalty for a crime is incarceration, that law only exists for those with daily responsibilities (e.g., jobs)." A line I just made up to refute your silliness.
Even if the penalty isn't a fine, and it's something more serious like Jeffrey Epstiene then our justice system makes exceptions in those situations also because of money. He was essentially a free man when they had enough evidence to lock him away for decades in Florida.

Honestly it is her own fault. Texas license I can be valid up to 6 years so therefore you cannot say she did not know anything about theses tickets. I am sure there was other ways she would have been notified specially if license is not valid the how is she getting her car registration passed every year?
When you go get your registration they don't check your license status. The registration is thru the county not the DMV here in Texas. You can register a car and not be able to drive it simply means you own the vehichle.
Most cities don’t notify. I had a ticket that I didn’t know about. Only reason I found out is because I went for an unrelated ticket and they told me I had a warrant lol.
This is what happens when you let private companies take over government functions. All they care about is money.
Pretty sure the Robocop movies warned us about this decades earlier.
Actually the government can pull the debt out of collections but why would they? The money is owed to them.
Mostly everyone can pay the tickets, especially during years. She thought she could just ignore the tickets but they didn't go away. If you can't afford it, don't get tickets, that's what I do. If she went to every court date and asked to pay $5 or $10 a month, it'd be already payed. She's no victim, the name of the game is "I gambled and I lost"

@@Concepcion30 credit cards are a little different. There are many who are either in a really tight spot when they get a card (or cards) and/or don't understand credit cards, and they end up in a debt growing as fast or faster than they are able to pay off. It's remarkably common, and it can be very difficult to try and get out of that. I've known several who had to do it and did, but it was a lengthy and arduous struggle for them.
Why should a ticket get crazy late payments in the 1st place
Wrong in Texas Omnibase tacks on a huge fee so in order to get your license back you have to pay the surcharge..courts can't waive the surcharge. Some counties here in Texas do not allow payment plans also. Going to court and paying $10 each time isn't possible in alot of counties. I take it you aren't in Texas
It’s quite revealing about our current societal state that in one of the wealthiest nations globally, the average individual struggles to afford a $300 ticket. This situation underscores a significant disparity and points to deeper systemic issues that need addressing.
She had money. Do not ne fooled.
Irresponsible driving habits must be due to something 'systemic' as well.
So, people who break the law shouldn't be held accountable? Last time I checked, having a drivers license is a privilege and not a right in this country. Abide by traffic laws and you won't get a ticket, or, if you do want to break the law, then accept the consequence for doing so, and pay your ticket rather than the $8 a day starbucks latte. Most people have a problem with budgeting, spending money they don't have on things that aren't necessities. Accountability isn't apart of some weird deep "systemic issue" that us as a country needs to work on. Are there alot of issues regarding cost of living, rent prices are through the roof, groceries and gas are crazy expensive (at least here in california), sure there are. But traffic tickets are not one of those. They've been a thing in this country since way before the middle class started to disappear. Just now with technology, it's a bit easier to catch those petty traffic violations.
@@davidpaz9389Yes actually, poor access to drivers' ed, so the important stuff gets missed, and DMV staff that are overworked, so more people slip through than should.
@@bmarino27You're half right there, driving _should_ be a privilege, however thanks to various "advancements" in Modern society, it's become _almost_ as necessary as food and water in order to survive and continue to participate in Society.

Texas has privatized the ticket collection and I bet they have raised the price of tickets to pay for the service in fees and prices. Once you get a ticket the cost quickly spirals out of control until you cannot pay for the ticket.
Abbott's Texas = oppression and repression.
Hate to burst your bubble but that’s how it is in every state. You don’t pay your ticket then you get fees. Still don’t pay, then more fees, eventually you get a warrant and more fees. Texas isn’t special. This is the way tickets work in every state and every country.

The lack of accountability is sickening.. you can go on a payment plan or better yet stop making bad decisions it's not that hard people stop messing up people's insurance because you decide to drink and drive.. or because you don't want to follow the law and not pay for your consequences.. they should just revoke their licenses after the 3rd ticket and issue a warrant for skipping court
@@origin0000 I'm talking about increase in insurance premiums due to uninsured drivers causing accidents and if you can't afford to legally drive then don't.. it's not criminalizing the poor it's called be a responsible person.. there is public transportation and there are jobs where than can work remotely.
It's all about looking for those opportunities rather than see yourself as a victim and blaming everyone for your misfortune
btw, Texas used to brag about not doing things like this, as a talking point to suggest other states are violating peoples rights. Hypocrisy. This is fascist stuff.
During my time as a rideshare driver, I picked up a over a dozen tickets and challenged them all in court. I had about a 90% success rate. 7 yrs on, I still have a perfect driving record.

If that’s really true then you live in a different place than many places around this country. Or maybe you have a camera in your car that also shows what speed you were going. I’ve actually watched hundreds of trials online that are streamed and several Traffic court hearings. And I’ve seen judges who absolutely take the word of the cop no matter how convincing the Citizen is, that’s what happens most of the time. But you may live in an area where the cops don’t even wanna show up for tryouts because I know most people aren’t gonna go, so maybe that’s how you got them dismissed. But a lot of places the cop show up every time. Probably the only other way what you’re saying is possible is if you live in a place that I think I live in where they just waive the tickets for you. I got three tickets that I deserved and they waive them all and just had me pay court costs. I don’t know why they would do that unless maybe the court just feels like The ticket money is gonna go to the state in the county, so they would rather just dismiss the tickets and get the court fees paid directly to the city 100%.

When states privatize law enforcement like this, money becomes more important than keeping people safe and in turn, hurts more people than it's helping.

Omnibase has turned a way to keep our roads safe into a way to make money and now, that's the real motivation.

Perhaps they should add community service as a method of payment.
It's already a method of paying a ticket. You go to court and if you don't get the ticket dismissed you can ask for community service. If you owe for tickets you didn't show up for court then you need to contact them and ask for community service. Sure it's easier to ask the judge at court for community service the other way probably takes longer because of paperwork or people.

In my state, it is up to those that drive to be a responsible driver, obey laws and pay any tickets. Unpaid ticket you cant get your registration each year, goes on your record, affects your insurance too. This is exactly what should happen. Again, those that think they can do as they wish with no repercussions. Driving is a privilege not an entitlement.
Good driving is a privilege not a right.
easy solution is to invest in public transit, which is safe, affordable for everyone, and equitable in utility and access. Texas doesn't bring in enough tax dollars from its citizens to pay for its road upkeep, it depends on federal government hand outs to pave and repave roadways. those roadways force every citizen, rich or poor to have to put aside money for a car and insurance, which is a financial ball and chain for everyone. Car accidents have long been in the top causes of death and injury in America. So each person pays more individually for transit, where they put their lives at risk everyday, using infrastructure that only degrades and is the most wasteful money sink of tax payer money than any other form of infrastructure. Build a F#$%$*% train or street car system and be done with it already. tax payers buy once, cry once, happy forever after.
