I have friends who tell me they always donate because they are afraid of repercussions. Lately the calls are actually bots, and very good ones. I had a short conversation with one and I thought they were human, before I hung up. Next call sounded exactly like the first, so I asked "are you human?" and after asking 2-3 times I got transferred to a human and told them to take me off their list. Haven't been called since.

It should go without saying that it is not normal in a civilized society for the police to harass and intimidate random people over the telephone into giving them money - let alone automating it.

Then there's the fact that some people fear repercussions for not donating. How did they get that impression? An honest misunderstanding, no doubt...

Then there's the repeated robocalling. That would certainly harass me.

This is harassment and intimidation.

It's an open secret that the license plate frames make it much less likely to get pulled over for speeding by California Highway Patrol.

Is there a reason you think I only donate to one charity? I don’t think we need more people telling people they’re donating to the wrong charity. We need more charity.

As for how the State Troopers spend it - I would trust the paperwork.

This sounds like heavy sarcasm. Anyways, I do believe that “more charity” is a false conclusion. Not everything is charity, especially when the organizations are lobbying against others rights.

More so, when your own research shows that they use your money for various purposes, and other investigations show that most of these charities are corrupt.
