To truly understand the magnitude of government violating the citizen's rights, you could just look at something as simple as a car accident. if I get into a car accident with someone and both our vehicles are damaged and we sustain minor injuries, assuming we both have automotive insurance, then the property damage and medical bills should be covered, and thus the dispute has been resolved or will be after some investigation into liabilities for the insurance companies.
Everything is going great so far until a police officer comes into the picture and hands out tickets for negligence and speeding, maybe not wearing a seatbelt, or another moving violation, maybe a DUI. Now, one or both of us will have to pay the local government (for what service?) or be incarcerated (kidnapped).
Isn't the moral of the story that if you are negligent or drunk driving, you might get injured in a car accident and your insurance premium might go higher and justly because you have proven to be a greater liability to the company. How do you explain the fact that some third party gets paid and gets to incarcerate someone after they have already resolved their dispute and paid their price?
It's the same thing as me watching my neighbor hit a child's bike with his car, give the kid the money or buy the kid another bike, and I walk over there and charge him a fine for negligence and endangerment. Obviously its none of my business and it would be crazy for any of us to walk around doing this, but for some reason when a cop does it, its called justice.
They can't even claim the fine as a fee for their involvement because they are paid by tax dollars. That should be enough and they have no basis for asking for money, its just robbery and extortion.
