Red-light cameras
Just a passing thought, a passing a red light thought, actually. Surely many of us have gotten tickets in the mail advising us of red light cameras that took our pictures at intersections we didn't realize had cameras at times when we blew through red lights because we never do such a thing.
But did anyone ever notice that the ticket displays your exact speed at the time the picture was taken? We hope we aren't opening a can of worms (not many people browse the site as of late anyway), but can speeding tickets be far behind? We know the city loves to milk its citizens of more money than it already gets from them (Read: tax rates higher than most of the rest of the country). We wouldn't be surprised if the city started mailing speeding tickets with pictures taken from red-light cameras (a-la State Police). They wouldn't be able to put a ticket on your driving record (they can't do it with red-light violations now) because they can't prove who was driving.
But the city doesn't really care about that anyway. It cares about the bottom line. Cash money. Dollar bills, y'all.

Speeding tickets are coming and red light cameras also have both speed an red light cameras in them. Check out www.photoenforced.com
Another way of eliminating a coppers job. This now reassures the citizens of Mayberry, that we don't
really need to hire 2000 more police for the street.
Really a shame the citizens fall for all this bullsh*T instead of making the Mayor accountable for our taxes and safety. There was a day when beat cars really did work their beat long before CAPs, the manpower was there. Every neighborhood in the city had a copper named Hawk, it never failed you genuflected at that stop sign and bam! there's your ticket. If you got away, good, but it kept you in check nonetheless.
By the way, thank you blogmaster for returning, hope your journey was a good one :)
I am more concerned over the digital enhancement that the city denies doing to the photo's, lest the court fight over them altering the images. Did any one else note that the red light in the picture has been enhanced? i.e. the city is altering the images. otherwise why are the red tailligts on other vehicles in the image not red.
