Why are people so tolerant of red light cameras yet so revolted by speeding cameras?
I'm tired of being a serf.
This stuff is coming to DC with Obozocare. The people who pay taxes will start ignoring the tyrants. You can’t get water from rocks.
If they can be reached with a pickaxe, why doesn’t someone spray pain the lense? Way easier than a pickaxe.
The State of Florida banned these but cities and counties are still putting them in.
Basically unenforceable but they are saying they will make a negative report on your credit if you don’t pay.
I know people living in Arizona....I’d say these intrusive cameras and their support poles, will eventually be sold for scrap, or modified, and become someones private security cameras.
I don’t think the local governments in this country understand...This aint the UK...
Actually the Limeys have done themselves proud on this one issue. I'm embarrassed to see that my own fellow Arizonans, supposedly among the most stubborn government haters in the country, can't hold a candle to what the Brits have done. Hundreds of their cameras have been torched, spray painted, run over, torn down, or otherwise sabotaged.
If they can be made to apply as much devil-may-care anti-government insolence to other aspects of British public life, they might just save their country.
Dangit.
We got one of those tickets in the mail after a trip to Scottsdale. The state must have gotten our address through the car rental company.
Being law abiding, generally, we paid the $120.
Here on FREErepublic.... emphasis on FREE intended you can get into some really really nasty arguments with folks defended the necessity for the cameras. So if the argument in favor for them exists here of all places, well... That’s why we have cameras. You can have lots of liberty and very little control over the behavior of the people around you, or you can have very little liberty and lots of control over the people around you. That control is exerted by the local, city, county, federal governments through the elected will of the representatives. This country has very very clearly decided it does not want liberty, it prefers control, and predictability over the more chaotic circumstance of dangerous and unbridled liberty. The People have spoken, so we have cameras, helmet laws, cell phone laws etc. Try walking through town with an empty hunting rifle, count how long before you are tazed, maced shot or detained. So second Amendment is Joke, as is the concept of probable cause. Probable cause is the empty hunting rifle you are walking through town with, 2nd amendment be damned. So consequently forget the rest of the constitution. Its settled in this country and no going back.
It doesn't work that way with jury duty. If the summons is ignored they can and will send you to jail and registered mail is not needed.
Real good news
We only moved here a few months ago. There are speed cameras all over the place! I see that Arnold is thinking of installing them in California. Good luck!
