Get The “Right” California License Plate
On Tuesday, April 7, 2008, the Orange County Register, reported that the Confidential Records Program has handed out a total of 996, 716 protected license plates to 1,800 state and local agencies. In 1978, the Confidential Records Program was made to protect vulnerable police officers who faced threats from criminals. Now the plate are being given out to judges, district attorneys, politician and their ilk, and anyone else with the right connections. What’s the outrage?
These plates keep the identities of the drivers from being put in any database so that they can avoid traffic tickets, toll roads, overtime parking tickets, and any other violations because their is no address to mail it too! They have already skipped out on toll roads alone to the tune of 5 million! The amount they have ducked in speeding and parking violations skipping is not being provided, even through the freedom of information of information act. Just to make this truly outrageous State Assemblywoman Sandre Swanson (D-Alameda), had introduced legislation to expand the confidential plates to dog catchers, zoo veterenarians, firefighters and code enforcement officers!
I guess it can be called a “sin tax” for all others Californians, because it’s a sin they’re not “connected” and can’t get one.
