This Statute would garner far more revenue if it were enforced:
Nowadays, most of the folks in this category are on their phones (while underway), too! They are now a monetary threat to whomever they crash into, as well as a serious health risk or potential life threat. These individuals should be of the highest priority for LSP and others. But they are not.
You should be angry with why they are only on the on/off ramps in Hammond. Why aren't they rotating to different locations? I'll bet there are far more violators of all these laws to be had on the on/off ramps of I-110 in Baton Rouge. But you already know why they won't set up these checkpoints there.
As a practicing law abider, I have no problems with any law enforcement agency enforcing any laws. What I have a big problem with, is when enforcement becomes a net gain only based on selecting certain demographics in which to enforce. Which makes more sense? Catching seat belt violators in Hammond, or wasting time trying to collect on tickets in Scotlandville?
As time goes on, you will see even more of a very sad correlation between poverty and less strict enforcement across the board. How's that for Justice Reform?
It’s not a checkpoint and you couldn’t be further from the truth. These types of enforcement happen all of the time in the scotlandville area. The people doing the enforcement have no interest in the fines collected.
