It’s already been said, Chicago. But I especially like the line about how Chicago could set an example for all other cities by .....getting rid of the corruption (taking down the cameras). That is hilarious.
They will re-brand, reset and re-contract the service so new players can belly up to the KBT (kick Back Table).
I got hit with one of those in the East Texas city I’m from. In order to enhance my calm, I told myself my fine was going to make the roads better. (WRONG!) When filling out the forms, I noticed the check went to Ohio. The thing that bothers me the most is that there were some people I shared this with that did not want to accept my explanation that the “fine” was just a kick-back to the company making the equipment.
Am I off base here? What else could that “fine” be for?
The cameras in the seattle area are on relatively flimsy hollow aluminum poles. A guy with an 8 lb maul and some nylon rope could easily crimp the bottom in a single swing an lasso the top and yank them down.
Or those paint ball guns could be fun.
Mind you, you wouldn’t want to drive to the thing, but still. I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with them out here. It’s actually one of the tangible reasons I moved here (KY).
