Replying to: vinnyny (Jan 10, 2009 7:19 pm) I did say that I was using an extreme example to make a point. However, my example still applies to your situation. Your daughter may essentially own the car but is still LEGALLY yours. Unless you gave the boyfriend permission to drive it he was guilty of unauthorized use. Less serious than bank robbery but still illegal. My original point was that the court should not make you responsible for identifying a violator of the law. That is the job for which we hire police and which is what would have happened if photo radar was not being used as a substitute for a human cop.

Replying to: xrunner2 (Jan 12, 2009 7:55 am) Are you also the guy who thinks he'll go to jail for removing the "Do not remove" tags from pillows and blankets, or do you sometimes get a little wild and tear those annoying tags off? I guess you never jaywalk when there are no cars anywhere in sight and everybody else is crossing. You missed my entire argument. Specifically, only the offender is guilty of the offense--and then only after he has been afforded his Constitutional rights. It's lemmings like you that allow the government to turn their children into brown-shirted, jack-booted, informants...

Replying to: grbeck (Jan 12, 2009 11:21 am) Not once have I seen anyone dangerously SLAM on their brakes when slowing for the photo enforcement zone. Most people see the sign and gradually decelerate or brake lightly to get within reason. The people who are speeding their butts off at 15+ over the limit usually don't even blink. They are the ones who earn their $157 ticket and should shut up about paying it. The next time a photo enforcement zone causes a wreck will be the FIRST time. At least around here there have been zero reports of that happening. Could it happen? Sure, and it probably will. But it will be a safer accident due to the slower speeds. Go Photo Radar !!!
