This city uses cameras to issue traffic tickets. This is illegal in many states, but Rhode Island thinks nothing of big brother shaking down the public any way they can. I wouldn’t recommend visiting any city in Rhode Island, they don’t value the citizens or guests, they’re just a way to get rich.

Went for early voting. Worked out well. Also walked around the new ice rink, and dropped a book at the library.

Judge Anthony F. Amalfetano is very kind. He’s efficient and timely. Probate court is quick and easy.

I am writing to formally report an unpleasant and discriminatory experience I had at the Warwick City Hall when I went to apply for a marriage license. The staff treated me with a lack of respect and understanding simply because I do not speak English fluently. They questioned the authenticity of my birth certificate because it was handwritten and notarized — which is the standard format in my country of origin. They insisted that only computer-generated birth certificates would be accepted, even though such documents do not exist where I am from. This rigid and uninformed policy discriminates against immigrants and non-native English speakers, creating unnecessary obstacles for couples who are legally eligible to marry. It also reflects a serious lack of cultural awareness and sensitivity from public servants who should treat everyone equally and respectfully. The main purpose of verifying marriage license documents should simply be to ensure that the couple is legally eligible to marry — for example, confirming that they are not related by blood or already married. The process should not be made unnecessarily complicated by imposing unrealistic or culturally insensitive document requirements. Even more concerning, the Justice of the Peace who officiated my wedding told me that this kind of behavior at Warwick City Hall is “normal.” I also filed a complaint with the State of Rhode Island, and they informed me that they have already received similar complaints about Warwick City Hall’s poor and discriminatory service. This demonstrates a pattern of unprofessional and prejudiced conduct that must be addressed. I sincerely hope your office takes this issue seriously, provides proper training to the staff, and ensures that all residents — regardless of their background or language — are treated with dignity and fairness.
