I am not aware of that being a legitimate crime...maybe it was in Soviet Russia or is in thought-controlled modern day UK, but the US is supposed to be above such nonsense...for now. A claim of "obstruction" with no details of what is being obstructed is funny...but probably not intended to be so. That's the type of government that deserves a purge, with nooses and blades if need be.
 
Arresting someone for such acts with the burgeoning social ills in this society is such a gross waste of publicly funded resources that it is hard to find words to describe it.

Or I could just turn around and claim you are telling a lie

fintail: .."but the US is supposed to be above such nonsense..."
 
Why? We are just a collection of human beings just like many others on earth throughout history. We will remain above such nonsense only if we maintain our ideals and keeping working at supporting them. The day there is a majority of apathetic citizens is the day we begin losing everything, and I mean that literally and figuratively.
 
The photo radar issue is just one small piece. OBD3-GPS and VMT are even more worrisome for me personally, but obviously not for all here.
 
What we do need is continued dialogue to look at all aspects of these issues.

I would have two witnesses (wife, neighbor) that would verify that you drove off in my car on the day and prior to the photo radar ticket.

I could come up with some witnesses who would verify I was at home or out with them etc...see how easy it is?
 
The question would then become, why would I want to drive your car, and why would you let me drive your car?

The US was formed in opposition to unjust and asinine laws. Now it is slowly becoming a leader of said mentalities, just like Europe has become.
 
Forced debt and consumerism are good at making people ignorant and apathetic. Hence they are being encouraged by those who shape this dying society.
 
Perhaps there should be a general vehicle tracking or surveillance thread, encompassing more than cameras.

Then we could post stories like this one, but it's not really auto related. And I'm just posting this to get people's BP up for the weekend.

Oh gee thanks Steve_Host! I don't sleep very well as it is. The voices in my head always have an argument by about 10 pm, and this link definitetly DOES NOT HELP.
 
Are you trying to kill me prematurely or what?

That is the moderator's call. However, we are having problems maintaining civility in this thread as is. I cannot even begin to contemplate what would happen in a thread like that.
 
But maybe if I put on my helmet, and then post, I may be safe, well at least Big Brother comes a-knocking at my door!

"...if any poster here would turn in fin if he was nabbed by photo radar in the car you borrowed to him..."
 
I would not. What he does in my car is between he and I in as far as he breaches my trust in him to take good care of it. It is not my job to enforce the laws.
 
Oh, and I would chew his a$$ for speeding in my car.
