You going to keep dodging this? > [@Shady"](#): > > you just make it sound like when you have an expired registration, or when your inspection is up that theres no purpose for a cop giving you a ticket other than for revenue That’s basically what I am saying. The majority of the reason is revenue. You can cite any source such as your neighbor’s buddy who’s a cop in some small ass town but I think a stronger argument is to consider the “target dates” that seem to occur near the end of the month and the current gov’ts financial state. More evidence? Why do you think “parking on the pavement” is so widely given out? It’s the money that is given to the court rather than a lower payment plus points. The points violation would have a greater influence on people driving slower due to the increase in insurance cost. But, the court doesn’t get that money. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/colonie-is-steppin-it-up/244213)._
