Just last week, a red light crasher was about to T-Bone my car. Only reason the crash did not happen was my quick reaction and good peripheral vision.

I oppose almost everything which expands the gov’t. But for reckless drivers, such as I ran into last week, there is no other remedy. A traffic cop cannot be present everywhere. Which is why I am against hand gun restrictions for home defense because cops won’t be there instantly to help when one is facing a home invasion.

Red light camera would not have stopped you getting tboned. In fact red light cameras have been shown to increase accidents where they are used.

Just like more gun laws don’t stop bad people illegally using them.

See post 97 regarding post 87. Red light cameras are just the beginning of indoctrinating us to accept cameras everywhere. Please do not fall for this. We need to get the gooberment out of our lives. The gooberment is not here to serve us. It wants to enslave us.

Nailed it!

I watch a lot of crash compilation videos, and what I notice with the red light accidents is that if people had just bothered to look both ways before going after they got a green light, there would have been no accident.

Those videos have taught me to do exactly that.
