    Unpopular opinion, but doing that means only that taxes that is paid by residents of the city is going to cover paying for that instead of paying for any thing more useful.

    You can’t call for anarchy while living in a regulated system.

      It’s better if the police budget is spent on replacing tires rather than purchasing even more unnecessary surplus military equipment which they will then try to justify using.

      Doing this saves lives, the taxes pay for the payouts in wrongful death lawsuits so this saves money.

        What is your logic here?

        All of this would take maximum less than a week to be reversed and paid by residents taxes.

        And this is assuming they done it on thousands of cars, which I believe is not really something that happen in real life.

          That’s a week less with fewer cops beating and killing innocent people. Maybe it’s worth it to avoid paying taxes out to grieving families and disabled victims in settlements.

      You’re right, it is an unpopular opinion. Maybe keep it to yourself next time you decide to let your fascist flag fly.

        The irony of your comment.

        “I don’t like your comment so maybe you should not comment again you fascist”

          The part that really shocked me is that it got even upvotes and downvotes… Mask off, I absolutely admit that was a troll shit post, I didn’t take it seriously but I also took it seriously enough to not add a /s. I expected to be downvoted to oblivion, I didn’t expect it to be on par. That’s a litmus test for ya.

          Edit: Until I downvoted myself that is, now it’s 6 up and 8 down. Seriously though, glad you pushed back against that.
