Speed camera

Do you also complain about parking tickets for the same reason?
Also, is that 9 minutes of savings worth the risk of a ticket. Plus probably a couple extra gallons of gas?
It's about our relationship with a parasitic entity. If there was no revenue in it, these wouldn't exist.
You could just not speed, or run red lights, or park illegally and then the parasite gets nothing. They're pretty clear in what you shouldn't do, they put signs on the road every so often.
Yeah but the guy who has someone doing 90 in a 25 hit his kitchen during morning coffee should have chosen to live elsewhere.
Probably.
To be fair, the house came out of ******* nowhere
Curious. Would you be OK with speed cameras if they also alerted police of a potential drunk or distracted driver? Or you got a ticket in the mail for phone in the hand while driving. I have seen some countries testing that concept out.
Cameras are cheap. I would rather you were required to have a dashcam in your vehicle and every infraction be recorded with the caveat that the DRIVER is immediately notified of the infraction and the impending fine, not a postcard 2 weeks later saying mail your check to a PO box in AZ.
Say somebody steals something from your porch and your doorbell camera clearly shows who did it. If that is the only proof you have do they get away with it because they can't "face their accuser"? Aren't you the accuser and just using video as a piece of evidence? How is that different from somebody watching a traffic video and issuing a ticket? Isn't that person the accuser and the video is just evidence?
The curse of death!!
Not only speeding cameras but ones at intersections to fine you for making a turn on red. Daughter got one a couple months ago in DSM
It has a far, far greater chance of accurately showing who is being filmed.
Would the ticket in this case go to the owner of the porch since the porch is used during the commission of a crime? The owner of the porch is responsible for who uses their porch.
I got hit for a 100 dollars for not coming to a complete stop in Clive. When I sent the money I wrote a message with it. I told them, “you can take away my rights to meet my accuser in court but you can’t take away my first amendment right…. ef you.”
Full disclosure, I regrettably started one of these threads.
Among other things, I was mad that I got the ticket 4 or 5 weeks after it happened, so I didn't remember the offense. It was coming out of some small town in NE IA on a state highway. I went back and looked and I'm guessing I started to accelerate to get back to highway speed too early. It was my bad and I paid the ticket.
I still contend that many of these cameras aren't going up because there have been safety issues due to the speed of traffic. Many of these are victimless offenses, so it isn't the same as stealing a package off of a neighbor's doorstep and getting caught on the Ring doorbell. It's more like Ring strikes a deal with your city and sends a ticket when it records someone pulling into your driveway without a turn signal on.
Yes I get it, don't speed and you won't get a ticket. I'm glad to know there are so many CF'ers that when they get pulled over and the officer asks why they are going so fast, they will answer; "it doesn't matter, if I wasn't speeding you wouldn't have pulled me over."
