Well at least this is still Texas and not London and you can still give the camera the middle finger without getting a ticket. :)

The government should not be allowed any new crime fighting tools unless or until it demonstrates a willingness to either focus its existing tools on fighting actual crime or relinquish those tools it is unwilling to use for that purpose.

Great! The only thing I like better than getting a traffic ticket is getting a traffic ticket from a robot.

they installed these cameras in my city a few years back. Turns out they couldn't afford to keep them running so they turned them off. So for about 3 years we have these eyesores all around town.

Hi All-

Not to mention once these contractors arrive to "manage" red light violation projects, profitability becomes Job# 1 to them. You can bet the value of your home that the first thing they'll do is drastically reduce the duration of the yellow light to essentially create more violaters where fewer existed before.

No doubt there's already a list of exempt plate numbers, with Mayor White's heading that list.
