- foxyv 5y agoI'm always suspicious of any solution that involves expanding police powers and fines. This creates a conflict of interest where police and cities oppose anything that stops the stream of DUI fines and impound revenue. In addition it grants powers to the police that can be abused to stop and harass the innocent. Austin Texas alone is raking in over 60 million in fines each year. https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/86R/fiscalnotes/pdf/HB02048F.pdf https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/86R/fiscalnotes/pdf/HB0204...
