Speed cameras? Red light cameras weren't enough?
Theres something fundamentally wrong about this. They are cheating! If you can evade another human then you earned your freedom... machines... Not right I tell you!
Sarah Conner warned me about this!
Anyone here check out Phantom Plates?
Seriously! In NY we got 20,000 red light camers in the city, 5,000 in nassau county and 5,000 in suffolk. so we got 30,000 cameras just in long island and the 5 boroughs. That was last year, might be more now. they got me 2 times already. i tried saying my car is a toyota and my gas pedal got stuck, but it didnt work lol
Bill, you just need to hire someone to stay in the trunk and when you get near the camera give it a double tap honk to signal for him to cover the plate. :D
Like SRTSean said, give them an inch, and they take a mile. Same goes for "Roadside Safety Checks". (Road blocks). It isn't about safety, it's about money and power. If it's about safety and slowing down, just put a squad car on the side of the road with the lights flashing. That will slow people down.
Before any officers dispute this, I don't think for a second that you aren't concerned about safety, or doing what's best for the situation. The money and power thing comes from the politicians who oversee the upper echelon of law enforcement, and as we all know, S*** runs down hill.
Ben Franklin said those who will give up liberty for safety will soon have neither.
Cameras are a bad idea concocted by politicians, and if that doesn't scare you, it should. It's like the frog in water saying. Put the frog in cold water, then turn on the heat. By the time the frog realizes it, he's cooked.
Thats true.. speed has never been a causing factor in any accident. :bash:
Not saying I agree with speed cameras but of course excessive speed causes accidents. But give this some thought... those who drive way over the speed limit are very likely do other things that can be reckless.
If I'm speeding and get cited for it I would not ##### and moan... I'd pay the ticket and take my lumps. If I cannot afford to get a ticket, I'd not speed.
CeeDog, your quote is correct, mine is off. But kinda interprets the same. My aploogies to Mr. Franklin.
