News Tip

Joe,

Speed camera set up over by Parkside this morning.

  1. Good way to catch speeders - don't 'cha think? If no one is caught the Camera is doing it's job. This forewarning stuff is silly. If you speed through a school zone you have broken the law. Got it?

  2. @9:48am... You should go explain this to my roommate. She got 3 tickets from speed cameras last month and has not paid them. She plans on taking them to court and saying it was not her driving the car (it really was her). She was going anywhere from 8-12 mph over the speed limit in school zones. I sincerely hope the judge asks for some sort of proof to back up her lie.

  3. Unless you're a cop. Then, under some vague reasoning, you HAVEN'T broken the law. And "If no one is caught, the camera is doing it's job" doesn't sound right to me. It would be doing its job if it CAUGHT people and collected badly needed REVENUE --- THAT'S it's job. As far as "vague reasoning", I made THAT up. There is NO such thing. A cop who breaks the law is STILL breaking the law, but since they hold themselves and their buddies to be ABOVE the law, well, there is NO penalty. Ask all the cops who were, and continue to be, photographed rolling through 25 MPH zones at 47 (in a police car, with their wife and kids, in casual clothes). THEN come to me with the "lawbreaker" logic.
