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.

Texas was to be a safe haven for honest people , who the hell changed every thing ?????????
Why am I reading about all this crazy stuff coming out of Texas? Have they lost control of their state?
What if you don’t have a credit card?
There is absolutely no circumventing of due process by this!other states and jurisdictions do the exact same thing. there’s no change in the way anybody does anything except aligned me to pay your citation on the spot. To my knowledge no state in the union requires you to appear in court on a minor traffic violation. With this process you’re still issued a citation you still have the option to appear in court or pay the fine, same difference.
hey I had to pay a speeding fine in MN 22 years ago or go to jail,,lol 8 miles over the limit.
If they did this the incidence of violence on cops would sky rocket
Hold yer hosses there Tex, Educate some cops that would be worthy to carry that kind of responsibility .
no. no, no, stupid idea.
Highway robbery indeed!!
Yeah and I bet NO cops would use a fraudulent card machine with a transaction like this!?!?!? LOL
