< From here >.QUOTE Supporters of camera enforcement say they stretch law enforcement resources, and they usually result in safer driving and thus save lives. Then start campaigning to have every single car made in America have its engine capped at 20mph, you fucking assholes. Grow some balls. Most traffic laws have nothing to do with safety. Like this one. QUOTE "Elmwood Place is engaging in nothing more than a high-tech game of three-card monte," Judge Robert P. Ruehlman wrote March 7 in a colorful opinion that has heartened camera foes across the country. "It is a scam that the motorists can't win." The judge said the village was on pace to assess $2 million in six months (the village's annual budget is $1.3 million). Maryland-based Optotraffic, owner and operator of the photo enforcement system in return for 40 percent of revenue, had already reaped $500,000 in about four months. Used [sic] words such as "scheme," ''sham," ''stacked," and "total disregard for due process," Ruehlman declared the village's photo-enforcement ordinance invalid and unenforceable. But let's hear from the other side... QUOTE When William Peskin joined the police force in 1998, there were nine officers. Now the police chief is the only full-time law enforcement officer left. He said concerns grew after accidents around the elementary school; village officials looked into traffic cameras and became convinced that they were the most practical way to make the village safer. Great job, Bill and you other fucktards. You'll make the town safer by erasing it from the map. |
