Include this in your .bash_profile to get colors, info and autocompletion on your prompt (if git is installed via homebrew)
# Git comes with some shell scripts you can load to get
# nifty shell features. Homebrew sticks them in /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d
source "/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt.sh"
source "/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/git-completion.bash"
# apparently you can specify __git_ps1 as the thing that
# renders your prompt by setting PROMPT_COMMAND.
# Setting the PROMPT_COMMAND lets git display colors.
#
# The alternative is just to set the PS1 variable.

No it's not always given, but that itself is a complicated issue.

This particular topic has been approached from a variety of different angles in reporting. I've seen reporting focused on the misery/impact on individuals and the way that even tiny fines snowball. I know of at least one township in Ohio that was dissolved by state courts because it was essentially just a speed trap scam along I-70 (New Rome). I've seen people talk about filling budget gaps with tickets & fines.

I worry that Ryan's right that this is the kind of issue that's too big or ultimately too rooted policy to bring to the ground w/o a hook like tragic consequences of what is ultimately shitty ad hoc policing, judicial and tax policy.

So, the question of whether the public is responsible for paying attention is also a complicated topic... because citizens don't have a systemic understanding of governance or things like how police departments are funded.
