Scruit Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Nanny state shit.....and revenue maker. Nanny state: Meh - I don't mind the concept. I see too many people running red lights. Revenue Maker: Instead of a fine, how about a one week suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFlash Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I would suggest that people refuse to do business within a half mile of any type of traffic camera.Get the merchants screaming that their businesses are suffering and that might help to get ridof the cameras. I would not shop in Heath when they had the cameras. I also refused to drivethru there if I didn't have to. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent2406 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 I just stay out of large populated areas and I can run all the damn red-lights, flappin my arms, that I frick'n want too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 ...Also, the camera purchase and maintenance fees must be paid at a flat rate - not per-ticket rate. No more private companies profiting from each ticket.Exactly that. It was a feeding frenzy. Private companies that were not accountable, generating revenue at an ever increasing pace, with no regard for anything except their own income. Enough is enough, they went too far.

DAC Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) The concept is not unconstitutional - just the "private" and "civil" execution that companies and cities have adopted. If the alleged violation videos were reviewed by a sworn officer who then wrote a ticket based upon that, and the ticket goes through the normal court system with due process just like a ticket handed to you by a cop in person.... the constitutional concerns of due process, right to face accuser etc are addressed. If done correctly...- The due process is the same as an actual ticket - because it would be an actual traffic ticket.- The accuser is the cop who reviewed the violation. Just like a burglary of a business closed for the night - the cop would view the video and the charges flow from there.Truth. Bitch all ya want, but I see at least one red light run per day. Saw a guy almost get flattened in a crosswalk a couple weeks back by a dimwit in a panel van that was IN A BIG HURRY. Cost? Are you kidding? How much does a union cop in a cruiser cost for the same result?I don't run red lights now, won't in the future. One and only exception is when the bike won't set off the sensor, which I think there is a legal exception for anyway.As a side note, the wife and MIL went to London on vaca about a month ago. Not a cop in sight. All cameras. FWIW. Edited September 14, 2013 by DAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
