Link only...cannot post AP
If this UN Rights of the Child treaty is ratified,
the social workers who will be enforcing it will be
GLEEFULLY
enforcing it.
Agreed. However, those out on the front lines are normally the first targets in such things as they are more "accessible" than their Bosses are.
It's regrettable, even evil in it's own right, but it's going to happen. "Just doing their job" isn't going to be much protection in the days ahead.
No, I am most definitely not condoning such things. On either side.
Thank Janet Napolitano for those little gems..
Gov. Napolitano's office first tried to sell this to the public as a state revenue increase and played up the fact that there were to be no points or criminal penalties associated with speeding past a photo van. They later came out and admitted that that was a poor choice of selling points and went with the 'slower speeds save lives' message.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been more destruction of the automated cameras.
When i was a kid, somebody’s dad would have shot out cameras like that...and we lived in a very nice community.
I hope the guy, simply doing his job, is OK, and that not a single other Big Brother camera is EVER installed in the USA again.
Mea culpa, i guess, in my post #26. I don’t really see a camera-installer guy as the driving force of evil, though.
Wrong. Excerpts of AP copyright articles are allowed.
I hate those cameras more than most people do. That being said, I can’t condone physical violence on the operator.
Look at some communities, they are buying fancy, souped up Mustangs, unmarked police trappers, so they can nab you going 41 in 25 trap zones, then watch for $250 “surcharge” or about $450 for casual speeding ticket tax. (how many freakin tickets they need to pay for that “tool”????)
Sometimes feel like driving 25 everywhere just piling up the traffic, but being “safe”.
Having radar detector saves from those concealed tax collectors.
How do we know that this murder had anything to do with the victim’s role as a contractor for speed cameras? There may well be another motive having nothing to do with his job, such as a feud over money or a woman. We should not assume that he was killed by the stereotypical angry white male who hates government intrusion.
He's dead.
Well I guess that settles that, then, doesn't it.
I probably should have picked that up from the TITLE of the thread. DUH ME!
Now go slap Beauford again. ;)
I don't know about your area, but Connecticut is covered with towns who have had insurance companies buy them DUI Enforcement Units by the insurance companies.
>>>“The story is a little confusing as it says that a suspect is in custody bit the suspect vehicle,...”
>>A K-9 suspect? << <<<
I should be annoyed by the mistyping police but I am LOL too much to be so! :)
(I really can’t operate a modern computer without a mouse).
Can someone post the link — or better yet, the consistent navigation to the FR posting and excerpting rules?
I was looking for them the other day and I could not find them for the life of me.
When I hear that the cameras are being taken out, I think what a great thing. But, when someone kills another human being over it, that is just sickening. The victim was on the phone with his wife at the time he was killed, as well.
