It gets to me on a personal level to read "theyre cops theyre going to do what they want" and "its just a fine pay it and move on". I really hope you guys are saying it in jest. Since the formation of the US there has been a consistant effort from the government to impose ridiculous taxes and to levy ridiculous fines. In early America, people would resist armed calvary sent to enforce these taxes, with pitch forks and torches, just to later brush them aside for fear of imprisonment or legal trouble? Nothing personal to anyone, everyone at NDN has been 100 percent cool to me and then some, but man, i just feel like i have to say this. You allow one right to be trampled on, why not them all? Let one ridiculous fine go, why not another?? Each tax or fine on its own merit might not be so ridiculous, but the general principle that lie behind them all is a horrible atrocity. That the governments owns you, and will do with you as it sees fit.
