The $75 in the article is piddling compared to the bay area. I got a red light camera ticket here (not debating the ticket itself, I failed to stop before turning right) and the minimum fine was around $350 plus driving school.
- stjohnswarts 7y agoYeah but median salary in bay area is probably twice to three times what it is in most urban texas areas. so $350 isn't a big deal.
- noonespecial 7y agoTell that to the person who drove an hour into the city to serve you your coffee. Its double regressive. They have to drive more (so risk more tickets) and the wealth differential makes their fine higher.
- rahuldottech 7y ago> median salary in bay area is probably twice to three times what it is in most urban texas areas. It's important to remember that medians aren't truly representative of extremes. While most/many might be able to afford it, there would undoubtedly also be those who cannot.

- TwoBit 7y agoAt Hesperian and A street by any chance? I got the same thing there but it was bogus because I did stop, just 15 feet before due to reasons.
