I don't agree. I've known many people who work on commission who are also as honest as the day is long. In any case you'd still have to be breaking the law to get caught, and once caught you'd have the same rights as anyone else. If you felt you WERE innocent you could plead not guilty, go to court, and make the cop prove you broke the law.
I said some and meant some. Have gone to court after getting what I thought was an unjust ticket. Won some and lost some but it is going to cost a huge amount of time to go to court and wait your turn.
