if you cant pay your bills or fines how can you post that kind of bond + why do towns of 2000 need 10 police cars and super aggressive enforcement? This is a systematic pattern of abuse that needs to be investigated at the state or federal level. This in one of the poorest counties in mo. It exceeds the poverty rate in the phillipines that a Marcos is in charge of again. Discretion is the better part of Valor.
