I want to live with my Mother-In-Law, be constrained by a straight jacket and force-feed brussel sprouts too. But this traffic enforcement non-sense really doesn’t affect me anyway because I ride my motor scooter to work. Although by law I must to wear a helmet, knee and elbow pads, proper reflective gear and a sign that reads, “run me over, I’m a sheeple”.
“Enough” is right! Any sampling you get from people who answer online surveys has to be as accurate as a sampling you get from people who post responses on this website.
Oh, the laws don’t apply to me. I am too important and can do anything I want. Obey the traffic laws like .00007% of the people in this country seem to do and you won’t have trouble. I have almost been in so many accidents because other drivers don’t stop at stop signs or red lights, cut me off or just speed as fast as their stupid cars can go. It’s another sign of the narcisism rampant in this country. My wants trample your laws anytime. The laws are stupid anyway and should be ignored. Right!
Dajani v. Governor of Md., No. CCB-00-713, 2001 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 982 (D. Md. Jan. 24, 2001) (unreported).
Facts: The defendant was charged with a photo red light violation and convicted. In this jurisdiction, photo red light violations are civil and not considered moving violations. Insurance companies may not consider the convictions.
Issue: The defendant appealed to the Federal district court, requesting the court declare the statute unconstitutional. The defendant alleged the photo red light statute violated the Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause.
The court upheld the conviction on procedural matters (lack of Federal jurisdiction and lack of standing) without comment on the constitutional issues. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision. (Dajani v. Governor of Md., No. 01-1179, 2001 U.S. App. LEXIS 17303 (4th Cir. 2001).
How about this. People that feel unsafe on the road: don’t drive.
Can we ship these people to Canada? Up there everyone drives the speed limit and would probably welcome more cameras from the government.
Then they can also get health care from the government like Michael Moore wants. Speaking of that fat a**, why doesn’t he just move to Canada? Oh wait, he’s profiting from freedom of speech, and other freedoms that he opposes… oh the irony. Whew… glad I got to vent about him, even though I know it’s not related.
thank you for your post. i wondered if anyone had tested it in court. i do not like red lite cameras just because it seems to infringe on my privacy. the vast majority of motorists do not intentionally run red lights and to do so is most likely a lapse in judgement. i make enough mistakes on a daily basis that i feel a touch down by the end of the day, anyway. then to open my mail and see a picture of me and a note telling me to send 400.00 for my mistake is not my idea of a good end of day. also, and this is what really frosts me, is the fact that the company that makes and installs the cameras makes 50 to 60 percent of the fine. this is a private company exploiting the misfortunes of people. if the city, county, or state want to install red lite cameras they can and i will not object-IF I KNOW that my fine is going to my county to pay the expenses of the county and not some private company preying off the misfortunes of others.
I was in the military and stationed in Germany from 1990 until 1992. While there I received a ticket for running a red light. Yes, they have these awful things in Germany and have had for a long time. In my case, a friend of mine was rotating back to the states and shipped his car back and needed to borrow a car for 30 days until he went home. I loaned him my car. A couple months after he left the country, I got a ticket in the mail for running a light with the auto I had loaned my friend. It was dated during the time he had been driving the auto. At the time, I believe I was fined about 50 German Marks. Wasn’t much money and I payed it rather than fight it. But this is just one of the problems with these things. I can’t believe anyone would think these things are ok.

Did they forget about that one? Is the judge going to ask the camera what it witnessed?
And tag numbers don’t tell you anything about WHO was driving the vehicle…
I agree with all of you. This is ABSURD.
Sixth Amendment: Know it. Live it. Love it.

This is the electronic age, it is a very cost efficient way to police trafic. It’s keeps the scums clean or in jail.
