Bitch about traffic cameras.

Sonic Youth 37 · 12.05.2009, 07:08 PM

Big Brother does exist and he is a traffic camera. I just got another bullshit ticket from them for apparently failing to make a full and complete stop and waiting 5 seconds before turning on red.

So glad we don't have many of those where I usually drive.

it's because we drive on the right and not the left. you can turn right on red but not left.

....traffic cameras?!

it doesn't sound like a bullshit ticket to me, it sounds like you committed a ticketable offense

Yeah, he got caught, and now he's whinging about it on here. What a wuss.

gmku · 12.07.2009, 08:26 AM

I think it's a pretty good idea. There aren't enough cops out there to catch all the terrible, i.e., dangerous, drivers. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

atsonicpark · 12.07.2009, 08:55 AM

Yeah, it's an awesome idea, but getting tickets for waiting 5 seconds to turn? Come on.

i know, i started driving in nyc where during on red is extremely dangerous/illegal. when i came to md i was really confused when drivers would honk at me for NOT turning on red.

also, traffic cameras are horrible.

Just be careful. Or, if you don't agree with the ticket, you can contest it.

The fact that I'm pissed about is that it is all because of a camera. Had I gotten stopped/ticketed for the same thing by a human being, I would have been fine with it. This ticket is the same thing as getting a ticket in the mail every time you went 1 mph/kph over the speed limit.

gmku · 12.07.2009, 12:06 PM

They've been doing this in Germany for decades now, maybe even all over Europe. I think it's efficient and smart. Theoretically, at least, this frees up cops to focus more of their human workforce on bigger things than traffic violations.

pffft, this from a man who only recently found out about french presses.

gmku · 12.07.2009, 12:44 PM

pfft, I don't need no stinking French presses.

And for the record, I have KNOWN about them for many-a-year. I have not had any interest in or need for them until recently. sheesh.

demonrail666 · 12.07.2009, 12:45 PM

denial. it's not just a river in egypt, you know.
