these numbers, it felt to me like basically what we're talking about is local city jails becoming debtor'sapable of paying then the way in which that then mounts are enormous, whereas if you have -- you know, if $100 the -- so not that a part of your monthly budget, you pay your tickets and go on. is there a legal question here? is there a way in which these kinds of city policies might run afoul of larger legal concerns? >> absolutely. when we look at the fact that the police department is subsidized by the municipality and effectively these officers are funding their own salaries through the communities they serve. they're issuing tickets, having their subsidies put in by the people who are targeted. and there should be a legal remedy to this to disincentivize the police officers from targeting the communities they're actually paid to protect and serve. >> so this is an interesting and important point that these communities are also taxpayers who are initially paying in and then they're paying in again with these fine ps. >> i think it's really important to make the distinction what law
