Nevada grandma arrested for giving rides to burning man festival

This is the type of over the top government bureaucracy that drives me insane.
Daily, they ignore all types of illegal activities that should be targeted by government agencies, but waste large amounts of government resources to target non threatening citizens.
Our government is the enemy.

A Nevada grandmother was busted in a full-scale, taxpayer-funded sting operation and is now facing tens of thousands in criminal fines for…lemme see if I’ve got this right, here…yep, offering to give a ride to someone. Literally. That’s it. That’s the charge. According to this, 61-year-old Susie Holland decided she’d made a little extra cash this year by giving rides to people headed to the Burning Man festival.
quote:
Holland advertised the service on Craigslist for $65, and was quickly contacted by some “Burners” looking for a ride. The strangers also offered her an additional $500 if she agreed to pick them back up from the festival later that night.
quote:
But when she arrived at the Grand Sierra Resort bright and early at 6:30 a.m. on Monday as agreed upon, she said she was immediately swarmed by a team of law enforcement agents in SUVs like she’d just been busted hustling a suitcase of cocaine bricks in her trunk. “When I pulled in, they just swooped up on me in three undercover Ford Explorers,” Holland told the Reno Gazette Journal. “They were coming at me so fast, so hard and so intensely, I was like, what is happening right now?” It turns out those agents were from the Nevada Transportation Authority, who told her she’d broken the law by offering rides without a license.
quote:
No, not a driver’s license - a special license the government says you’ve got to have before you can take money from willing people to transport them places, of your own free volition. The cops told her she was facing three charges, all of which carry up to $10,000 per violation. On top of $30,000 in fines, she also had to fork out $1,000 for the NTA to release her car - which they’d impounded - and another $500 to the impound lot.

This is probably more the Vegas Taxi Mafia, but of course, yeah it wouldn't be able to exist but for government.

What ever government official decided to do this was a hall monitor in middle school.

I’m guessing the local Indians didn’t like it

I’m eagerly awaiting someone to defend this. Someone will, just wait.

Our government and our nation is a hilarious joke. We arent serious people.

Our government out busting grandmothers trying to make a dollar.
While 10 million illegals come here with no jobs, no money, no cars, no homes.
And it’s all free

Since she is in Nevada she should have offered a blow job to be performed near the festival. Perfectly legal.

The Barney Fife types love to bust weak old ladies and grandmas, but they won’t mess with drug cartels and child trafficking agents

$30,000 in fines
Who are the real thieves here?

That’s just over the top. Requiring the license is bad enough but couldn’t they just see the ad online and call her and inform her she needs to acquire a license rather than perform a sting operation

If they stopped her before she did it... they couldn't squeeze her with tens of thousands of dollars in fines.

She’s needs to request a jury trial, and the citizens need to tell the government to frick off and say not guilty.

I know some of them, and they wouldn't care about someone making $50 for a ride to the playa.
