Ugh.
The Exeter Police Department, unhappy, with their measly
multi-million dollar tax consumption from Exeter residents, feels it appropriate to expropriate
another $20k from the state taxpayers at large. The goal: “enhanced patrol
activities.” Read: more loitering, snooping, and ticket-issuing. In short, they
are taking more of the tax largesse to bother and expropriate more of the hapless
taxpayers. This is a damn shame, but it’s no surprise. More laws justifies more
tax money for “law enforcement.”
According to Shupe: “Our goal will also be to educate
drivers and others on the specific violation/law they have been stopped for in
hopes of curbing a dangerous driving habit.” Wrong. Most everyone knows the laws. News flash: people
ignore laws. This is not about education. This is about control, compliance,
and enrichment. This is about increasing police power over us peons.
Naturally, Dan beautify-my-storefront Chartrand is delighted
with this. Anything that enriches the government coffers (and by conflict of
interest, himself) is a good turn of events. A far better and safer solution: abolish EPD.
I await the sobriety checkpoints.
