Big brother is starting to hand out speeding tickets by catching you on a "Radar Camera!!!" <br /><br />According to news, Washington DC first in the nation to use them. People getting $30-300 dollar tickets in the mail," Mail Shock!!!" The system has brought in big bucks to the DC coffers. Other states may fallow!!!<br />Tripe "A" denounces the radar cam saying it infringes on peoples rights!!! 
then why would you object to these cameras? After all they only take your picture when you are in the wrong, such as breaking the law? <br /><br />With technology being so advanced, I think it would be possible to track vehicles in a pursuit without having to endager the public with a pack of cruisers chasing a suspect. Just have to see what the future brings.
<br /><br />Some fellow who received a "cite by mail", went to the location his violation was said to have to occured. He timed the amber light with a stop watch and found the "on" time had been shortened. He video taped the lights thru a number of cycles and took the evidence to court.<br /><br />The fellow won his case. Then the word got out and spread, causing a number of cities who also participated in this devious activity to refund the fine money to the former violators, now called victim's. <br /><br />Naturally the "amber time" was restored to it's normal cycle time.<br /><br />If you get one of these red light "photo" tickets and you think the amber time was altered, I would do what the guy who won in court did. <br /><br />This was definatly a revenue enhancement for the cities, that went bad.<br /><br /> ...Bob in Calif...
It's not about doing anything wrong!!!<br />It's about "Big Brother" watching over you!!!<br />It's government watching over it's flock!!!<br /><br />And I feel that they are not doing this to protect us from ourselfs!!!!!<br /><br />It's being done to close the gap on lost revenues to city and state coffers.<br /><br />If they were doing it to protect us they would give you a ticket if you just went 5 miles per hour over the speed limit<br />It's a known fact here in Mass. that if highway speed limit is 55 you won't get a ticket unless you do over 70 they want to hit you with the big fee!!!! It's not a safety issue, it's a money issue!!!!!
Bring it on. I don't do anything illegal at my house either.<br /><br />The one's that don't like radar is the one's that speed.<br /><br />The one's that don't like these cameras are the one's that run red lights and endanger my safety along with my families safety.<br /><br />Again, if you do nothing wrong, don't worry about it.<br /><br />I don't.
When *they* stick the 'chip in your head or hand called 666' will you be the 1st in line to prove this??Bring it on. I don't do anything illegal at my house either.<br />......<br /><br />The one's that don't like radar is the one's that speed.<br />if you do nothing wrong, don't worry about it.<br /><br />I don't.
