I hope this guy eats their lunch!
I hope that they ARE his lunch.
Oregon's politics sounds very similar to Marylands'. I tell you the truth - the same type shenanegans already happened in Baltimore as we all heard and read about them.
Some intersections with red light cameras have a very short yellow light for the speed limit at the intersection. That how they make money. It's just another low way to get money from the working man. Rich people call and get their ticket dismissed and poor people can't afford a car.
He's damn lucky the truth didn't get him a jail term.
Start messing with the revenue stream AND their arrogant authority??
Odds are his taxes get audited and property inspectors start sniffing round his land.
Keep it up and end up killed in a robbery over nothing.
But, ya gotta like his persistence.
A yellow light crusader in Oregon has WHAT to do with Salisbury???
