I agree everyone knows what is right and what is wrong. It's the people who gets caught doing wrong that has the problem with New Rome.  If you don't do the crime, than you won't pay the fine.

Chad's response:

First it is, "It's the people who get caught doing wrong that have a problem with New Rome".  You may find it difficult to convince others of the validity of your point using poor English, but regardless of your speaking skills your conclusion that only those guilty of breaking the law have anything to fear from New Rome seems almost maliciously off the mark.  I must ask you, what New Rome you are referring to because it can't be the one on the west side of Columbus, Ohio.  Have you read the Tales of Woe?  Do you know anything about the history of New Rome?  If you had you would be aware of the many times that the unprofessional New Rome Police Department (NRPD) have written tickets for "crimes" that are not actually against any law.

The NRPD will ticket you for not having 4 bolts in your license plate, siting you for Improper Tags.  But no where can you find the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) stipulate 4 bolts.  The ORC simply states that the tags must be "mounted and visible".  The NRPD has been issuing speeding tickets for years in an illegally signed speed zone, that turns out to be an illegal speed zone altogether according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.  Yet when confronted with the fact that their speed zone is not enforceable under the statutes of the ORC the New Rome magistrate can be heard to say, "I don't care what the ORC says" as he hammers down the gavel and issues your fine (plus court costs).  Also if you get a chance to spend time in New Rome please count for me the number of new BMW's or Lexus's you see get pulled over and ticketed by the NRPD.   It will be an easy number to count.  It will be zero.  The NRPD has been getting away with their improprieties for years by only targeting the poor and uneducated.  People that don't know the law, their rights and most importantly lack the ability to defend themselves against the actions of the NRPD.

They are in flagrant violations of many laws, if for no other reason than they themselves are ignorant of the law.  One has must get their case transferred to Franklin County Courts to get a proper trial.   The NRPD has been a self perpetuating entity for long enough.  They simply are writing tickets (often for things that aren't against the law) in order to generate income so that they can just write more tickets.  How much money do they generate?  $6,000 per resident.  Columbus would have to write $4.5 billion in traffic tickets to achieve those per capita numbers.  And where does this money go?  That's what Jim Petro the Auditor for the State of Ohio would like to know.  Of the 10 people convicted of government corruption in Ohio over the last ten years 3 are from New Rome.  How does a town of 60 in a state of 11,000,000 generate 30% of guilty corrupt officials?  Jim Petro calls New Rome, "The most corrupt village in Ohio by far."  Columbus would have had to "lost" $1.5 billion over the last decade to equal what has simply walked away from New Rome.  New Rome is in direct opposition to the intent of the entirety of the ORC, is a blight on the state of Ohio and needs to be relegated to local history books.  If you can't see that then you are either one profiting by their corruption or blind.

Laura , if you can't do the time, don't do the crime, or at least don't whine. Get over it

Laura responded:

Girl, open your eyes and your small mind. You just don't get it. So, let me
try to explain it to you. I'm not simply whining about getting a speeding
ticket. If that's all it was, I would have taken my lumps and moved on a
long time ago. My complaint is that the speed limit sign is so well hidden,
and I thought I was within the speed limit at the time. (I was going 42 mph
thinking the limit was 45). I object to the foul, harsh, rude, intimidating
manner in which Lt. Kerr treated me. I object to the incredibly rude, nasty
treatment Robin Spangler gave me when I asked her a simple question. I
resent the fact that it was like pulling teeth to get a receipt from her
showing that I had paid my bogus ticket.

I can't comprehend how New Rome takes in almost $400,000 a year, and yet it
provides no municipal services whatsover, while the town remains an ugly
decaying run-down hole. I despise the horrible way that the New Rome cops
treat people, especially the way they bully little kids, the disabled,
pregnant women, etc.    I also hate racism, and racial profiling, and New
Rome is infamous for that. Read the Tales of Woe if you need evidence. All
these people are not just making this crap up.

I also have a problem with the fact that New Rome has been repeatedly
caught for imbezzelment, theft in office, poor record keeping, etc, and yet
they continue to do these things. Read the latest auditor's report (I'm
assuming you do know how to read) and you will see that New Rome continues
to spend money in excess of appropriations, they have not computerized, as
they were previosuly ordered to do, and that they continue to have
accounting discrepencies. Come on now! I also can't believe the council
members have the gall to just blow off council meetings, including the
special meeting called by ODOT, and the meeting to propose dissolving the
village. They are just like a bunch of little kids - if they can't have
their way, they leave the playground and go home to pout. You just can't
function that way as an elected official.

This, my dear, is what I am "whining" about.  There is simply no reason for
New Rome to exist. And I will continue to whine, gripe, moan and complain,
as loudly and creatively as I can, until this decadent, in-bred little
empire crumbles.

New Rome is not a "traffic trap" if you would obay the laws.  Just like Valley View, Mt. Sterling and a lot of the other little towns and villages.  You are just upset because you got busted, plain and simple.  Sorry about your luck.  (A resident of New Rome)

Jim responded:

Alisa,
 
I will print it as I have printed all the New Rome lover letters.
 
And just the same, you won't be able to argue for them against the reasoning.  If the best you can do it "You got caught, end of story"  then don't bother wasting my time.  There are LAWS that a government has to follow.  New Rome has avoided it all for a long time because no one has stood up to them.  Not only did I prove them wrong and was still made to pay the fine, ODOT has said their speed limit is wrong and the council has ignored them.  Just because the state hasn't done anything to put a halt to their 40+ years of corruption doesn't mean New Rome won't topple like Old Rome did.
 
So before you get into a debate with me, I suggest you supply me some fact and reasoning to your statements.

Alisa responded to Jim:

For one thing Jim, ODOT did not say their speed limit was wrong, it was only their suggestion to raise it.  Noone takes into consideration all the grade school and middle school kids have to cross Broad Street in New Rome at the cross walks.  So how would you like your children to cross a busy road where cars go 45 and even more every day.  Stop thinking of yourself or yourselves and think of the kids who live in and around New Rome.

Jim responded again:

ODOT did say the speed limit was illegal.  They just can't force New Rome to change it.  Much like anyone else breaking the law, only a court can force change.  One day it will go to court and then let's see what happens.
 
The whole children cross a busy street ploy isn't working with me.  There are school ON broad street and their speed limit is 45.  They don't seem to have a problem crossing.  If the children are in grade school they have no business cross ANY road by themselves and a child in middle school should have the common sense to cross the street just like anyone else using any other part for a busy street.
 
Another problem with you argument is that the police there has been writing ticket after ticket and the so-called situation isn't improving.  So why hasn't bigger better measures been put into place?  Speed bumps maybe?  I'll tell you why.  Because then they couldn't fund the police dept and it would fold because if they actually did anything but randomly run plates all day then they couldn't survive.
 
You go under the assumption that everyone that hates New Rome has been ticketed by New Rom.  This is not true at all.  The time and effort I spend now is because I know they are a bunch of rotten crooks and by spreading the word their fall will come about sooner then if I "pay the fine and move on"  Now it's just a matter of time.  They won't screw over the people for another 40+ years.
 
Some people may be afraid of New Rome.  I am not.


Subject: I dare you to print this.

Have you ever got pulled over by a New Rome police officer and if so what was the reason?  Were you'r tags expired, were you drug trafficing or were you just plain speeding?  If you were not doing anything wrong, then you would not have been pulled over by the police!!  Any police!!  Thoes of you that do not live in the Village of New Rome are not aware of the facts.  You are only going by hear-say.  In  my eyes you all suck. Especially Jeannie Frazier, who by the way is a fat, lying, slut who enjoys causing distress so she can be the center of attention. {And she thinks she lives by satan, HA}  If you don't like New Rome, then stay the hell away from it!  There are plenty of ways to get around it.           Honestly yours, a New Rome Resident

Michael responded:

I am so sick of this argument that "If you were not doing anything wrong, then you would not have been pulled over by the police!!".  Alisa, in New Rome that simply isn't true.  I don't doubt that New Rome writes many "good" tickets.  But the avalanche of horror stories of people being stopped and ticketed for the most minor of infractions, or for made up laws cannot go unnoticed.  The next time you see a father with a couple of kids in the back being given a ticket for $148 because his Ricart license plate frame obscured his renewal sticker, or a single mom in a beat up Cavalier wagon being charged for "no backup lights" after stopping at Dairy Queen for dilly bars...you tell me how much safer you feel and how New Rome is a better place because of it.  It disgusts me that this mother would have to give up a couple weeks worth of grocery money to satisfy a ticket that would be a friendly warning from most cops.  

Worse, the money goes into a corrupt system where some of it is likely to be skimmed by people in the elite New Rome "club".  If the money does end up in New Rome's account, 90% of it will be reinvested into the ticket generation machine.  Do you not care that your "town" looks pathetic?  That you have no parks, no sidewalks, no services besides a police force that is run by citizens of other municipalities?  How can you hold your head high and be proud to be from a community that gives back nothing to its residents?  New Rome's old guard has brainwashed people like you with the illusion of security by this massive police force, when they are nothing but bullies and revenue generators.  Alisa, they get their jollies out of intimidating motorists, not upholding public safety.  Is this who you want protecting you?

Alisa is so stupid she has no common sense, and claims believe what she has been told.  In defending the NRPD, she must live in constant fear of less than four bolt plates, and dim plate bulbs. (Anyone know what the plate bulb wattage must be in New Rome to avoid trouble?)  But even with her inherent dimness, she knows she has nothing to fear.   She's one of the chosen few who can persecute the rest of the world.  New Rome is right, and the rest of the world is wrong.  The stench of corruption is at record state level right under her nose, but she can't smell it.  She can't see that her city is a disaster area,  in spite of all the millions fleeced over the years.  She refuses to hear what a joke her government has been and continues to be.  Neither she or anyone else can comprehend all the legitimate business that has been chased away from the area.  If she really believes what she claims,  trying to reason with such a person is going to be a waste of time.  I think we are really fortunate in having all the ignorance concentrated in New Rome.  At least you know where it's at.

Alisa, obviously you are benefiting monetarily from the "communist" New Rome government , or your educational background consisted only of a banana and an innertube. Either way, you need to realize that we live in AMERICA!! True Americans are fiercely proud of their country and will NOT TOLERATE government corruption as New Rome has BLATANTLY shown. Especially after the 9/11 tragedy!! SHAME ON YOU!!! Your support for the New Rome Village and Police Dep't unquestionably pegs you as UN-AMERICAN!!!!!! You should move to China, where they treat their citizens like human fodder, and make up the rules as they go, just like New Rome does. SMARTEN UP, ALISA!!!! VOTE FOR THE DISSOLUTION OF NEW ROME!! It's only a matter of time before they ticket you!!!

There are some of us who have been there, and on the inside at one time, and know first hand what has been, is being done.  I was smart enough to get out before, but have followed it for over 20 years.  And now you are going to tell me I don't know what I am talking about?!  You are not stupid, you are just an idiot!  You need to get a life.

It is hard to believe that a woman would go to all this trouble to make
herself look this bad. I must applaud all responses to her poorly worded
statements as you showed much greater character then this woman did.
Hopefully by February this woman will see the light and realize that New
Rome and all the shame it represents needs to be dissolved forever.
