As the bankrupt U.S. Postal Service struggles to pay its bills, it gets slapped with $700 in traffic tickets including two school zone speeding tickets and 5 red light violations. Jennifer Bresling, the attorney representing the Postal Service, wrote a letter to American Traffic Solutions (ATS), the Arizona-based company that enforces East Cleveland, Ohio’s camera citations and stated that the USPS is not subject to local and state regulations. They shouldn't have to pay all these fines because they’re above the laws. And they’re above the laws because they’re a part of the government.
In her letter to ATS, Breslin reminded them that the USPS is responsible for mailing over 200 billion pieces of mail a year, as if that exempts them from local ordinances.
This is about hypocrisy. The same government that helps create these laws for “safety” doesn't think they have to abide by these “safety” laws. They’re saying loud and clear, “We don’t really care about your safety.”
