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.

DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW.I don’t believe this ARTICLE is the TRUTH.
gestapo !!
It would not surprise me … that’s the “old” way… long ago you could pay cop on the spot or get court date… always was easier to pay than go to county and miss work or be a days drive away… some still allow paying by mail.
Hell NO!
I’m calling bs but I still think if they want to raise money (and that’s ALL ticketing is about) PLEEEEEEEEEZE let me pre-pay for one get out of ticket pass. When my turn comes up (how ever much money they need to raise daily) I just roll down my window, hand it over and we both go our merry way! After all there WONT be any pleasantries exchanged anyway so let’s just speed things up and QUIT wasting each other’s time with the bs dog and pony show for the predefined ticket fund raising goals.
No way!
What happens if your poor or between paychecks? Go directly to jail do not collect $200? You now are in jail and can’t pay bail. If you could you could have paid the ticket. Now you lose your job for missing work. Now your up a creek…
Yeah I would trust them w my cc info. Whose the idiot that thought of this? The CEO of dunkin donuts?
