Ok here’s the deal. You get a traffic ticket from a public servant (cop). Paid by you and works for you in theory. He or the dept notifies your insurance company of your misdeed and you get points that increase your payments for several years and you pay a penalty, if you are a good boy or girl then the points go away. Insurance companies are private enterprises so what this amounts to is a public govt ant idée giving information to a private enterprise for the benefit of that enterprise.
A trooper stopped by to chat today and I asked him this scenario. He told me that it’s not them but the courts that notifies the Insurance companies. I do not agree with him as many minor accidents and non fine able tickets don’t go through the court system. So what gives here? How does this really work and how is it not a kin to collusion or conflict of interest? Should public servants be allowed to provide information to a private corporation to the benefit of that corporation? Or should the private corporation get what information some other way not involving public servants?
