Replying to: steve_ (May 01, 2009 1:50 pm) Now that you mention it, I heard today that my fair city is likely to put some photo "enforcement" at some locations in the near future.   Could this be related to the city knocking a couple seconds off a left turn arrow at an intersection I go through many times per week? Encourage people to cut through by the skin of their teeth, in hopes a couple hundred bucks can be take here and there. Nah, our revered authorities would never do that   I've also noticed another light that randomly changes no matter the traffic volume...it's either broken or it is an intentional sequence to kill traffic flow. I bet that kind of thing can create revenue too.

Replying to: steve_ (May 01, 2009 1:50 pm) He was right in saying that.   The "photo radar is the devil incarnate" attitude of the CAMERFRAUD people is what has inflamed passions. That is 100% correct. Replies to this message: steve_ (May 01, 2009 2:15 pm) larsb (May 01, 2009 2:51 pm)

Replying to: larsb (May 01, 2009 2:05 pm) Interesting comment on that page to the effect that photo radar has never survived a public vote. Replies to this message: larsb (May 01, 2009 2:51 pm)

Replying to: steve_ (May 01, 2009 2:15 pm) That's easy to understand.   There's no group of organized law abiding citizens who take the time to defend it.   The whiney speeders always come out in force.

Replying to: fintail (May 01, 2009 11:57 am) Blindly defer and conform to arbitrary regulations set by those who lack the knowledge and credentials to do a justifiable job at creating them, and who live in a vacuum of accountability that a 25 year tenure college professor could only dream of.   That's a great quote! I'm going to save it in my favorite quotes file. I use these various quotes on occaision so if you have a name you'd like me to attribute it to please let me know.

Interesting comment on that page to the effect that photo radar has never survived a public vote.   That's easy to understand.    There's no group of organized law abiding citizens who take the time to defend it.    The whiney speeders always come out in force.   The most cherished way of deciding a law in our land is the vote and we thought he didn't understand what a violation of civil liberties was? I believe someone knows just what it is. Abolish the will of the people and life will be safer for us all?   Were we invaded and I missed it? If photo radar is a viable law enforcement tool it should be put to a vote every time. Remember how we got the Miranda laws?

Replying to: boaz47 (May 01, 2009 7:12 pm) If photo radar is a viable law enforcement tool it should be put to a vote every time. Remember how we got the Miranda laws?   Indirectly, it is put to vote. Don't the people elect the mayors and other leaders of cities, towns who then have authorities to invoke law enforcement tools? Maybe the anti-photo radar folks should organize like the greenies and similar groups and only support candidates in coming elections who are against photo radar.

Replying to: xrunner2 (May 04, 2009 5:47 am) Yes, and the elected officials serve the people. So why go back door? Put it to a vote and see what happens. Unless we want minority rule? But you have a point, and that may be why some states have banned Photo Radar.
