Poppakeith. I am definitely not disagreeing with you.
Back when they started this, late sixties and seventies, the movies, TV, and books all emphasized the “speed traps” and “hidden’ stop signs in other states. An Alfred Hitchcock TV movie, a picture in a magazine showing a stop sign hidden in a bush, then a cop cutting it down. And on and on.
If the local state wanted to join the compact they weren’t telling us about the guarantee of getting the ticket money, ( we were worried enough about getting caught in a trap and wouldn’t want to lose our license in out home state) but of how they would protect us from drunk drivers.
In one of those links you would see a brief statement about the states getting revenue from tickets, and much,much, more about drunk drivers.
So I and everyone else was lied to. And I agree, You are right, not all the states joined. But some may leave, and if some join later, and discover on their computers that some out of state person didn’t pay his ticket….. see what I mean. It is happening.
I came to this site to learn and share what I have learned. Not fight with people.
I was a cop. I have arrested enough. I was a training officer. I was a highway patrol officer, and gave out enough tickets. I worked "Plain clothes". I always worked in what was called an "A" house. meaning high activity precinct. NOT to be a hero, but to see life, and I believe it is safer in a high crime area then in a country club.
Thanks for talking instead of fighting..
