No Mercy for Judges Who Show Mercy

Your initial points are amusing in that a female judge in Wake County recently denied a female defendant any type of waiver citing in court that the defendant was wearing high-end clothing and was texting on a new iPhone 8 (which pissed off the judge due to the texting rather than the phone).

I agree with the concept that if you fail to pay a fine then you should lose your right to vote. In order to be allowed the privilege of voting you should demonstrate civic responsibility IMO.

Sounds more like a way to restrict suffrage. What's next, a bunch of Black people losing their right to vote over some bs loitering violation?

You have a point.... especially in view that the context of this thread is about poor people and minorities being imprisoned over their ability to pay. Would losing their right to vote over their inability or unwillingness to pay be simply a new way of restricting voting? Or a reasonable solution for imposing civic responsibility?
