In Texas we recognized that speeding tickets are a central source of
revenue (a form of taxation if they budget for the revenue) for small
towns. Accordingly we set a limit to how much revenue a jurisdiction can
have versus their total other taxed revenue stream. Once the exceed the
limit they can no longer agressively write tickets. So, January to about
August be on guard. Last quarter you have a larger bubble to flirt with.
So yes, speeding tickets can be a form of taxation. All a municipality or
jurisdiction needs to do to is budget for the anticipated revenue and they
turn it into taxation. If they treat it as windfall money, than they could
say it wasn't a form of taxation.
And it's every Americans duty to reduce government spending and taxation.
