The Texas legislature introduced a bill this week that would allow cops to collect immediate payment for minor traffic offenses with a credit or debit card.
This completely circumvents the rule of law as citizens’ due process rights will be forfeited by pressure from police officers. The power this gives police will certainly cause an increase in abuse of citizens by law enforcement.

No worries!! Several states have been doing this for years… Several countries have done this even longer…
It reduces costs on the system and if you want to appeal in court, that is still your right…
You’re given a ticket as receipt, so they’re not pocketing the money…
I’d just tell them I have Credit Cards!
lol dont break th law
NWO Police State Extortion
B A D I D E A !!! Promotes graft/bribery/distrust/etc
Oh my stars! You have got to be kidding…have they even considered the consequences? How dumb. TX get it together and fight this.
NO
I have no credit cards and never did have. What would they do, arrest me ?
Texas corruption at its best. Watch the graft, more speed traps, more home rule and more targeting out of state plates. Texas doesn’t have police any more. They are all revenuers
Oh yeah and if you give me a little I won’t even write the ticket I’ll just let you pay me directly. That’s the way it was many years ago. The patrolman called it a waver.
