"Whenever state trooper Michael Poupart pulls over a speeding motorist on I-94 in Wisconsin's Kenosha County, he offers to take Visa or MasterCard debit and credit cards right there on the side of the road."

Anyone else see something wrong with this scenario? When I would have to drive to Port Fourchon LA for work I knew many who were stopped in Golden Meadow. Apparently they threatened not to let people go until they paid their fines (for speeding) and then charging an additional 5-10% for using a credit card. As if people routinely travel around with a couple of hundred bucks in their pockets.

Every day brings us one step closer to Revelation...

Revelation
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

My thoughts too. Odd they want cash to let bums out of jail but will quickly swipe a card from Mr and Mrs Clean Cut American for a broken tail light. I guarantee the amount of tickets will greatly increase simply because of the income it will generate.
