GOVERNMENT’S TRUE INTENTIONS REVEALED – PHILLY STYLE

The Philadelphia Parking Authority is so fucked up and corrupt, they made a TV series about them. Their job is not to insure pedestrian safety or keep the streets safe for easy travel by vehicles. Their job is to collect as much money from its hapless citizens as humanly possible. They issue tickets to vehicles that are not illegally parked and it is the vehicle owner’s obligation to prove they weren’t illegally parked. They are the most despised government agency in Philadelphia, amongst dozens of incompetent, corrupt, union controlled government agencies.

But now the despicable mayor of Philadelphia – Nutter, reveals what a corrupt, tax and spend liberal phony he really is. He already funds his bloated, union controlled, insolvent, joke of a school system with outrageously high income taxes, sales taxes, cigarette taxes, real estate taxes, and business taxes. But that isn’t enough to pay the gold plated union teacher benefits. The school district, along with other corrupt government operations, are funded by parking violation fines.

Easy to implement technology for smart phones is now available that would allow citizens and visitors to Philadelphia the convenience of paying their parking fees from their phones. The hassle and parking violations would drop dramatically for we the people. One problem. Mayor Nutter is a socialist control freak whose union paradise depends on fucking its citizens. He has stopped the implementation of this great App because he needs to fine you to pay for his worthless school bureaucrats and teachers. 

Government sees you as nothing but a milking cow to be taxed, fined, fee’d and controlled for their benefit and enrichment. The government is your enemy.

City Hall Wants to Delay Parking App

Says school district could lose funds if payments too easy.

philadelphia-parking-authority-ppa-parking-ticket-2The Philadelphia Parking Authority wants to offer a new smartphone app that would nearly automate the process of paying for on-street parking, but it has run into opposition from the Nutter Administration. Turns out the city that gave the world Parking Wars depends on some friction in the process.Otherwise, officials say, it’ll be hard to raise money for Philadelphia public schools. KYW reports:

But the Nutter administration wants to put the brakes on this because it could lead to fewer tickets written and a drop in the ticket revenues that go the cash-starved school district.

“It’s great news for customers,” Andrew Stober, with the mayor’s Office of Transportation and Utilities, says of the proposed app. “They’re far less likely to get a ticket as a result of mobile payment technology. (But) the way we’ve set up our revenues from the Parking Authority, that’s bad news for the school district.”

The city and school district share in the net proceeds of the PPA’s on-street operation. Stober (below) says last year that came to about $37 million to the city, and $9.7 million to the school district.

He says the mayor wants the Parking Authority to hold off on the mobile app until its revenue impact is studied.

PPA officials dispute the prospect of lost revenue, and want citywide rollout for the app out by the end of the year.

The niggers in Philly are so stupid they just keep living there and accepting the fleecing. And they talk about social justice and white privileged when their own people are ‘corn holing’ them everyday.

Admin,

Had a similar thing happen to me a long time ago.

I was visiting a friend over in Indiana and we were driving around – me driving, him pointing out how his little town was dying. This was over 20 years ago, so it was an early version of what Europeans do when they visit Detroit – doom porn.

Anyways, we pull up to this intersection in an older suburb. I didn’t see any signs telling me to yield or slow down, so I assumed that the other road had the stop signs. I’ve seen these before in small towns. Only one road has stop signs, but the crossing road does not.

Didn’t see shit, so I didn’t touch the brake.

Blam.

Cross-traffic broadsided me doing 40+. We ended up in someone’s front yard.

The copfuks tried to cite me for running a stop sign. I said “What fucking stop sign?” Copfuk pointed to the stopsign – and it was visible all right… FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE.

The important side – the red one with the word “STOP” on it – was completely overgrown and hidden behind the branches of a tree. Since I was on vacation, I actually had a camera with me. The EMT’s were trying to patch me up, but I gimped over to the stopsign and took multiple photos, then came back to the EMT’s and got their names, etc. They wanted to know why. I told them because I was going to fight this fucked up ticket and that they – as witnesses to the fact that the stop sign is completely obscured – were witnesses.

My reasoning:

1. The Stop sign in question is city property, located ON city property.
2. The city has an obligation to the public to ensure that all road signs are clearly visible.
3. Since the sign was completely overgrown and obscured, the city was negligent in maintaining a road sign meant to ensure safety.
4. Since the city was negligent, that means they are culpable and directly responsible for my accident and any injuries resulting from same, for ALL involved.
5. I was going to come back and sue the city for everything I could get – win the fucking Ghetto Lottery, and I didn’t care how long it took, because I knew I was right – the proof was right there.

EMT’s looked at the copfuk.

Copfuk tore up the ticket.

There is much angst and consternation against prosecutors and grand juries who refuse to bring charges against police officers, even when incontrovertible evidence is presented. Even with incontrovertible audio and video evidence, prosecutors are loath to prosecute rogue law enforcement personnel.
Let’s examine the reasons why it is so difficult to prosecute thug cops:
Most prosecutors are former police officers or have extensive dealings with police departments and have ongoing relationships with police departments in their respective jurisdictions. They are friendly with the judges in their jurisdictions, as well. This, along with “absolute immunity” makes it easy for them to “cover up” police abuses and behavior. Prosecutors cannot be sued for malfeasance…it takes a judge (who prosecutors are friendly with) to bring charges on a rogue prosecutor (which almost never happens).
In addition, prosecutors guide the actions of grand juries. Prosecutors are not required to introduce any evidence to grand juries, (can and do) easily “whitewash” the actions of rogue cops. On the other hand, prosecutors can (and often do) go after honest citizens who seek justice outside official channels…prosecutors have ultimate power and are not afraid to use it…their immunity sees to that.
Another aspect to a grand jury’s inability to prosecute bad cops is the fear of retribution…cops drive around all day, have nothing but time, have access to various databases, and can easily get the names and addresses of grand jurors…this, in itself can be a powerful deterrent against grand jurors who “want to do the right thing” and prosecute bad cops. There are many cases of cops parking in front of grand jurors’ residences, following them around, and threaten to issue citations to them, in order to “convince” them to “make the right decision”…the “thin blue line” at its worst…
The whole system has to change.
Eliminate absolute and qualified immunity for all public officials. The fear of personal lawsuits would be a powerful deterrent against abuses of the public.
Grand juries must be superior to the prosecutor; ALL evidence must be presented to grand jurors. Failure to do so must be considered a felony and subject prosecutors to prosecution themselves.
No police agency can be allowed to investigate itself. Internal affairs departments must be restricted to minor in-house investigations of behavior between cops. All investigations must be handled by outside agencies, preferably at the state level.
Civilian police review boards must be free of police influence. Members of civilian review boards must have NO ties to police departments. Relatives of police would be prohibited from serving…Recently, the “supreme court” threw police another “bone”. The court ruled that police are not responsible for their actions if they are “ignorant of the law”…now, let’s get this straight–honest citizens cannot use “ignorance of the law” as an excuse, but cops can??
Revolution is sorely needed…..

There have been too many instances of police errors, mistakes, and misconduct that have not been properly addressed. From harassing honest citizens over minor disagreements, questionable shootings of honest citizens, to SWAT teams raiding “the wrong house”, smashing everything in sight, with no apologies to the occupants for their “mistakes”, there is something seriously amiss with law enforcement in this country.

Militarization, along with the “us vs. them” attitude, seeing the general public as the “enemy”, treating the public with suspicion, many of those that comprise the “thin blue line” do much to alienate themselves from their “bosses”, the law-abiding public.

Police have forgotten that a little “Andy Taylor” can go a long way in soothing fears that the public has of law enforcement…

“Blow back” has arrived with extremely unconscionable and tragic results…
No humans in their right mind want to see anyone lose their life at the hands of criminals of any sort, especially “law enforcement officers”–those who are charged with “keeping the peace”.

It seems that in today’s supercharged climate of “officer safety”, innocent civilian lives have been extinguished, with tragic results.

Part of the “problem” has to do with the elevation of “officer safety”, trumping “citizen safety”. It seems that honest citizens have been relegated to second-class “status”, being expendable whenever a “law enforcement” officer’s (perceived) “safety” is threatened.

The hypocrisy is so blatant, that even with incontrovertible video and audio evidence, police-friendly prosecutors, along with “rubber stamp” grand juries STILL absolve rogue cops of wrongdoing.

The public is not stupid, seeing through the double-standard that presently exists. This, in no certain terms, absolves anyone of responsibility for perpetrating unnecessary violence against “law enforcement” or the general public…

The sad part of this whole situation is that when the SHTF, the 99% of good cops will suffer, as those with “axes to grind” will see only the uniform and will be unable (or even unwilling) to differentiate between the “good” and the few “bad”…collateral damage at its worst.

Non-violent changes in the whole system are sorely needed……

Here are “police” practices that deserve to be exposed:

#1. During a traffic stop, the police officer will touch the back of your car. The reason for this “touch” is that, quite often, the police officer will have a small quantity of narcotics (marijuana or cocaine) on him (in his hand) that he will rub on the car in order to help “justify a search”. When the dog is brought in, it will react to the drug on the vehicle and help “justify a search”. This tactic is mostly used against young people. Drugs can also be “planted” on a “suspect”.
The “touch” used to be a way for police officers to “prove” that they had an interaction with a citizen, but no more . . .

#2. Most (if not all) cops possess a “throwdown” weapon. This “helper” is obtained from a criminal who is then “let go” without his weapon and is always used to justify a questionable police situation and to “sanitize” a “crime scene to absolve police on the scene of criminal police behavior.

#3. If you are in the back of a police car, LIE DOWN on the seat. Police use the concept of “screening” to abuse their unwilling “passenger”. This involves, driving at high rates of speed, violent turns and other antics to get the passenger to “hit the screen” separating the front from the back with his face. Hence the act of “screening”.

#4. If you are being handcuffed, quite often the police officer will wrench you arm behind you, forcing you to “turn around”. The officer will then add a charge of “assault” to whatever other charges they concoct against you (just for being forced to turn around). They “pile on” charges, hoping you will plead guilty to at least one.

Remember–NEVER CONSENT TO SEARCH . . . You must be polite, but firm in your refusal. You can state that “you NEVER consent to searches” as well as using these “magic” words–“am I free to go?” The police officer MUST answer your question . . . If you are being detained and an illegal search takes place, you have legal recourse.

Remember–police are not your friends . . .

That being said, not all “law enforcement” is criminal, but the “thin blue line” that they so jealously guard (and “look the other way” when rogue cops abuse their authority) does much to taint ALL “law enforcement” with having ulterior motives.

I read about drug dogs that respond to a gesture also. An easy thing to train a dog to do.
Big cities, Good places to stay away from. The cops are either crooks or they have arrived at some kind of war fatigue from dealing with the locals.

yahsure, you are correct. “drug dogs” DO act on “cues” from their handlers.

A firefighter from a certain southeastern Michigan community claimed to have a “arson dog”–one that could detect accelerants. This “firefighter” and his dog were instrumental in ruining many peoples’ lives by his testimony alone. Insurance companies LOVED this guy as he was able to get them out of paying (valid) claims. People were denied valid insurance claims and prosecuted for arson on the testimony of this “arson dog’s handler.
Those who were “burned” by this supposed arson dog “handler had no recourse, because of “qualified immunity”. The firefighter (and fire department) could not be sued.
Finally one citizen who had been accused of arson fought back by suing to prove the “arson dog’s” ability. The dog was found to have NO special ability. The “arson dog” and his human master’s career was finally over. How many innocent people were convicted of arson and lost everything they had??
