When I first heard about traffic cameras, I was in favor of them, provided that neither the company nor the unit of government that built, installed and operated them was not in any way compensated based on ticket volumes.
I love that in Alaskan cities people tent to take twelve gauge shotguns to the cameras.
You want to catch me blowing a light wait there and catch me then pull me over
Insurance companies are in on this too as they will raise your rates as you accumulate more of these tickets.
I hope you changed your mind a minute later. They are nothing but a money grab.
Between shortening yellow lights, hiding the cameras and bribes.
Speed camera’s are worse. I got tagged in Washington DC. The speed limit dropped from 50 to 25 in about 40 feet. The single camera brought in $13,000,000 in “safety” a year.
Someone finally “accidentally” hit it with a snowplow.
Baltimore County Police had to refund a few hundred thousand dollars after it was discovered that the sworn law enforcement officer who reviewed and signed each ticket had been dead for six months.
Really?
Not familiar with the slippery slope the left uses?
You know they used seatbelt laws as an argument to force people to get “vax”.
We shouldn’t give these commies one single inch. Further we need to claw inches back.
“I was in favor of them”
You wouldn’t if you got one of their CS tickets for not coming to a complete dead stop. I got one once and the video showed wheel lugs barely moving.
Lots of people value safety over freedom.
