Red Light Camera Study

I think it sucks :thumbsdown: It's a money barrel and I'm completely against them. The sad thing is, they could be used for better things, but of course the main concern is money. More government nannying.
 
It also depends on the type of government. Socialist or Labour government always knows what is "best" for the people (i.e. people can not think for themselves). They are the worst for implementing the big brother type things such as cameras and general driver persecution.

Look at the UK, 10 years of labour and we are being spied from every corner with CCTV, speed cameras / red light cameras, average speed cameras and on and on.

And the eventual consequence of this is, indeed, that people stop being able to think for themselves. :(
 
I get spooked when I visit the UK now. I feel as though I am being watched - and guess what!! I am being watched :?

I hate that. Pretty soon Big Bro will start telling you what you can do in your bedroom.... First it was Religion telling you how to have sex.... Now it will be Secular Big Bro....
 
The local traffic cams here have been malfunctioning, so the police are spending a lot of time and money analysing each image. Great job. So why are there more rear end collisions?
Driver is going too fast even when light is yellow or is not paying attention and locks up brakes to not get a ticket. Driver following is not allowing a safe following distance and/or not paying attention and hits the other driver who wasn't paying attention. I see people running red lights every day. They're the ones that hit the gas to make the yellow light and end up blowing through an intersection at speedlimit +20 or more when the light has turned red. In fact, you can tell when the light is going to turn green by watching for that last high speed car, I see this constantly.

These cameras aren't the problem, it's the s**t drivers that is the problem. The cameras are just a poor reaction to the problem. Yesterday, some fat broad in a Ford Excursion was yakking on her cell and blew a light and almost nailed three high school students walking to school. Granted the kids weren't paying attention, but they did have the light and were in the crosswalk. This goes along with my "Don't treat the streets like a race course" rant. Learn to drive and pay attention, the life you save might be mine.

You know. Some Religions tell you that if you use Birth Control then you go to hell. Others tell you not to enjoy sex and that it is only for procreation. Others want you to use a sheet with a hole in it for Sir Lancelot. They all tell you not to masturbate. I think I will stop here :?
