Actually, revenue generation through "law enforcement" is a fucking joke these days. It does NOT go into the pockets of the LEOs (whoever thinks that is just flat-out retarded). It is nothing but the mismanagement of these municipalities. These cities get into some financial problems, spending MORE than both the revenue they generate through these taxes, services, fines AND even what is lent to them through these municipal bonds.
So what is their answer?
Well, if they raise taxes too much, they get voted out. If they spend less, then they can't justify spending as much or more the next year and they can't keep up with "deals" they made to the vendors of that city- which equals business going elsewhere. They can't overly impose fines on violations of the laws and city ordinances (moreso than they are already doing on a ridiculous level).
So they come to an agreement to nickel and dime some more taxation and throw up a few more red light cameras and assign a couple more officers to traffic duty. Then they start new fees associated with emergency services like alarm fees, false alarm fines and being charged for the FD or EMS to show whether they are needed or not. (basically, more taxes)
There are a couple of problems we see now. One- when more revenue comes in, they don't use it to pay down anything, rather use it to justify MORE spending to try to build infrastructure and attract more local business. Two- with all these home owners defaulting on their mortgages, the city is now losing the property tax, the water/sewage/trash collection fees, etc. Banks are either holding out on the process to foreclose so they can mask their losses or just not being able to sell the houses that they do foreclose on. This will cause a dramatic dip on the taxation portion.
Remember the increased spending when they did start generating more revenue? Well, that deficit is now even worse! Guess what happens then? Fewer investors (muni bonds). Now where do they turn to for more revenue generation (besides waiting for their next stimulus handout)? That's right... back to law enforcement.
Stop mother fucking the police, y'all. You guys are barking up the wrong tree. You need to motherfuck these councilmen and city managers. Trust me, the cops aren't the ones driving this, let alone even wanting to do it.Comment
