And we know which neighborhoods will be targeted.

[bert]

black drivers with no license or insurance will be allowed 30 miles over the speed license before arrest

[stanne]

Somebody’s got to pay the bills.

[beethovenfan]

Right, that’s the biggest issue in Chicago /s/

[Navy Patriot]

black drivers with no license or insurance will be allowed 30 miles over the speed license before arrest

And they will be allowed to empty two full magazines before pursuit.

I'm not surprised. Facing your accuser in a court of law is foreign to Beteljuse. Red light cameras are unconstitutional if they use the distance fine service and the infraction is not adjudicated in a local court.

[TigerClaws]

This is a “white property tax.”

Whites pay them. Blacks don’t. Then Dem say it’s racist and they either forgive the debt or pass laws that the debts have no consequences to the poor.

Seen it happen.

[The Louiswu]

Put cams on 90/94, u won’t be able to write tickets fast enuf

[Secret Agent Man]

the only ‘solutions’ libtard socialists ever come up with are

more taxes

more fines

more fees

more service charges

more licensing fees

more govt giveaways

and cutting of essential services they are by law obliged to perform

[Scrambler Bob]

Disguise your plate.

Get a high energy laser.

Go on the offensive.

Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice.

I visited Chicago once and while there, took a drive to Lincoln Park. Got out of the car for a minute and got a parking ticket that was off the charts.... it was totally ridiculous as the ticket was issued within about 30 seconds of stopping. Vowed never to come back.

[Fido969]

ka-CHING!

[SkyDancer]

Well since she can’t control crime and gun violence ....

I’m surprised she set it at 6. Why not 1 or 2?

[jmaroneps37]

di Blasio’s speed cameras (2000 of them some a block away to be extra sneaky) bang you for TWO MILES over.

[lgjhn23]

They need the money....

Ticket issuing Cameras. Speed or red light. Democrat policy. If there is an area where speeding is a problem. Assign motorcycle cops and have them issue tickets in person.

There was a town in Texas where the city council put this in. A doofus police chief was posing with a sadistic smile on his face by the sign warning of this camera. When a lot of tickets were issued a recall election happened and the 4 of 5 council members who put this in were recalled, and the police chief resigned. I think it was Gonzalez, TX about 10 years ago...
