They ticketed me for parking illegally but I'm rich?!?!?????!?
Aren't there townships in the US that literally survive on setting up bogus cameras and ticketing people who pass by? Doesn't some private equity company get to ticket people in chicago?

Yeah Chicago Parking LLC is owned by Morgan Stanley, in 2008 they signed a 75 year lease for it.
Don't the saudis get a piece of the action
You are thinking of the UAE. One of the big investors is an Abu Dhabi investment fund.
If the bogus cameras replaced the racist cops, that would be cool. But it's just supplementary income for the racist cops.
The townships will control 1 mile of interstate and will ticket anyone who speeds on that one mile. Traffic tickets are internally considered as a source of revenue in most local governments. Not as a safety program.
surveillance
surveillance, USA
So... they broke the law and caught a fine?
and then openly admitted to breaking the law 
They were no angels
I swear, every CHUD becomes John Antifa as soon as they’re in any context where laws bind and protect them.
Everyone hates the cops once you actually have to deal with them being cops
Meanwhile in the US
Fox News when a foreigner commits a minor non-violent crime in America: this is a country of law and order, lock them up in a concentration camp then deport them. They should have memorized the laws of the country they're arriving in.
Fox News when they are the foreigners committing a minor non-violent crime: fined for what? Breaking a law? There's no law that says we can't break laws. If there is I couldn't read it, it's in Chinese!
The only way this could be dumber is if they said something like "I thought this was America!" while standing in the middle of Beijing
Our wholesome chungus Flock and Nest cameras and warrantless wiretapping versus their barbaric, oppressive surveillance panopticon
Our good wholesome white law and order, their asian communist oppression
Collecting data from every Ring camera in a suburban neighborhood to [redacted]
Collecting data from security cameras in public places to enforce parking rules
Meanwhile, me pointing out Flock cameras to everyone in the vehicle with me as we drive around
My small town in the US has automatic ticketing using license plate scanners. This is not new or unique and was in fact pioneered by US law enforcement.
gee thanks age verification party
“I love mass surveillance, but I would never ever ever ever EVER want to be in the panopticon myself!”
Wow, cameras everywhere! Can you imagine?!
Communism is when parking ticket
Updated the list so it's now, communism is:
- No food
- No money
- No iPhone
- Parking tickets
No communism is when cameras everywhere, it's why london is a communist shithole
Literally Literally 1984
Our glorious Flock
Their barbarous security cameras
Okay well we’re kinda in a pickle because we let rich white men break all the rules to the point people are screaming and pleading for there to be consequences.
So by all means equate communism with the rules fucking applying. People might say “this communism stuff sounds alright.”

For a certain brand of conservative, this is what it is. Ive heard the fucking outburst when they cant hold it in anymore.
Parking tickets, USA: Hell yeah Lord bless our justice and democracy!!
Parking tickets, PRC: Goddamn commies taking away my freedom of breaking the law!!
$40 for a parking ticket is cheap. Minimum is $60 where I am.
They rounded up, too. A parking fine in Beijing is like $32 USD.
In Communist China, you can't block fire lanes.
They're talking about this guy?
LITERALLY fucking around in traffic, yeah man you do that here you get a ticket too 
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
I really don't understand the cognitive dissonance that the "small government, anti-1984" conservative can handle. Between ICE just being allowed to kill and drag people off to concentration camps, and the support of The NSA, Flock, and Palantir and the rest of the extreme surveillance state the US has. They really are just focused on "It's good when we do it, but if I am a victim it is bad. This should be just used against brown people"
They don't need cognitive dissonance, they have white supremacy!
Ironically i think the conservatives (fascists) and communists see more clearly here than liberals, who are caught in the contradiction of all that civic religion bullshit that just exists to obscure power relations. We can just say "it is in fact good when my faction has the power and bad when our enemies have it" and maybe I give them too much credit, but I assume right wingers just think the same, the difference being that they are wrong.
This goes against free park-it capitalism!
