The problem with government services is that you have no recourse and people are treated like cattle. If I lose money in a broken parking meter and get a ticket - what are my options? Do I get a refund? At the very least I would be forced to spend the price of a postage stamp, adding insult to injury, to fight the ticket. OTOH if I lost money in a public phone the company was required to issue a refund check merely upon my verbal report of the loss.Can government agencies be taken to small claims court? If I want to seek redress against a government agency I have to spend thousands on a private attorney, on the other hand if I have an issue with a private company it only costs a small filing fee to sue them in small claims court. Private companies can be overseen by government regulators but who regulates the regulators? |
