LAPD pushes for exemption of Ariz. boycott [red stoplight cameras]

Here we go. This is only the second of many "exemptions" that have been and will be requested.

Ending service with American Traffic Solutions could result in traffic delays while crews remove the cameras, or it could take up to 10 months to hire a new contractor and reinstall the equipment. This may cost the city over $1 million.

Whores.

Here’s hoping they stick to their guns an fire those mean racist Arizonans. You can never have too many Mexicans in a country, except in Mexico.

Isn’t a boycott based on political boundaries a violation of the Commerce Clause?

[Abathar]

Nothing is more important than a revenue stream I guess.

Isn’t a boycott based on political boundaries a violation of the Commerce Clause?

Not if its for the right cause. See the Feeling Clause in the Constitution.

If Arizona had any honor, they`d tell L.A. to get stuffed and refuse the sale.

“If Arizona had any honor, they`d tell L.A. to get stuffed and refuse the sale.”

Unfortunately it is a private company selling the camera’s and service. In my opinion, by the very nature of the product they provide, the company has no honor.

Arizona companies should refuse to provide products and services to LA - a pre-emptive reverse boycott.

Publicizing this move would probably result in a glut of business for them.

Whores.

It was not LAPD that declared a boycott of Arizona. It was the corrupt, racist city council.

[Jack Wilson]

I believe chicago went through the same thing - voted to boycott, then realized they needed the cameras.

[nomad]

Then I hope this “boycott” eventually drives them out of business.

[La Enchiladita]

In my opinion, by the very nature of the product they provide, the company has no honor.

Hear, hear!!

[walford]

And it will be “the corrupt, racist city council” that will grant this exemption because money trumps stated principles.

It was not LAPD that declared a boycott of Arizona. It was the corrupt, racist city council..... And this Assclown pantywaist....

[Bernard Marx]

by the very nature of the product they provide, the company has no honor.

I could not agree more.

[Iron Munro]

Hey, hey.

THE ATTACK OF THE HYPOCRITES

They don't mind a boycott as long as they themselves don't actually have to give up anything.

I prayed: "O Lord make my enemies ridiculous." And God granted it - He sent the Obamas.

No..REALITY is a B***h.

[CodeToad]

Since when was a government boycott even constitutional?
