Simple ordinance: If you're found guilty, you pay court costs. Also, the poor sap who got let go before because he was on his way to church or some BS is now facing an almost 100% ticket guarantee, making the state more onerous to more people. To me, it's a bit like agent provocateur (sp?) in the other direction. Then again, no pain, no gain, right?
I think Shaw is right on about provoking the state (like I just said ^). The problem is that the eventual path here is revolution, probably violent which is bad for a majority of the population a majority of the time.
