SAVANNAH, GEORGIA – Last week we reported on the growing outrage by Savannahians paying exorbitant fines of $140 to $200 fines simply for jaywalking. However as we see in the video the government and its agents feel this law as well as parking laws do not apply to them. Thus, further illustrating the growing trend of government viewing the citizenry as nothing more than their private piggy-bank.
Finally, we check in on the progress of the petition being circulated by “Savannahians Against Ticketing for Jaywalking” during a recent “Savannah Sand Gnats” baseball game.

Why would you give your DRIVERS LICENSE to a cop, simply for walking? Never give your ID. Just provide your name.
