Wake up Texas politicians and realize that the surcharge law is doing more harm than good. This man will tell you why.
I created this video because I have my own complaints with the law which concerns my oldest son. My oldest son will have $1,500 in surcharge fees to pay after he is released from jail later this year. His drivers license is suspended and he will have to come up with $159 to get his license back. Since he can't earn money in jail, he will have to borrow money from his relatives so he can get his license back to drive to work. This is bullshit!
Bottom line is the DRP is a failure. It violates individuals rights regarding double jeopardy, equal protection, and protection from excessive fines and punishment, as well as others including due process. The DRP was never voted on, and the DRP is funding the TTC without approval from voters or Congress.
The DRP legislation is engineered to generate revenue for the Trans-Texas Corridor. It was established to coincide with the law authorizing the TTC. When proponents of the TTC decided to embark on a personal agenda in hopes of ensuring their legacy, they placed an unnecessary, unprecedented financial burden on Texas. The TTC will not relieve congestion in and around our states metropolitan areas; it will literally cut Texas in half.
