    Default Cops now charging for gas used to catch you



    Autoblog writes

    The high cost of fueling up is affecting just about everyone at the pump. But it's also costing us at the grocery store, the airport, and, beginning July 1, it could bump up the cost of your speeding tickets, too. When a north Atlanta suburb spent 60% of its police fuel budget in only five months, it was faced with cutting back on patrols, raising taxes for all, or passing the cost on to speeders. The final decision was a no-brainer for the city of 7,700, and beginning in July, all speeders will be slapped with an additional $12 fuel charge. The added charge will raise ticket revenues up to $26,000 or more, and the costs will only be passed on to those who break traffic laws and not every citizen. The Atlanta city council has unanimously passed a similar proposal to include a $10 - $15 fine for ticketed motorists, and many more cities are sure to follow suit in short order. Yet another reason to get a really good radar detector.

    Well then they should double the gas surcharge for those who happen to be speeding in an SUV. Teach them bishes a lesson.

    AND they should enforce a rule upon themselves (which will never happen) but tax the officer whom is SPEEDING FOR NO FUKIN REASON as well. Surcharge his dumbazz

    you know i saw this on the news about a week ago and don't get it. so on top of the fine for the offense you commited you have to pay the cop for something that you are already paying for through taxes? To me it's BS. I doubt it's going to slow anybody down .
