Yup, we really need these speed cameras to free up cops for real crimes like these.

All the time the State Police use tryin to catch speeders at Rt.50 and American Legion Dr. Maybe they should patrol right down the road. The state troopers have worn a circle in the edges of the road that they have turned around so much. That great police work at it's finest. Catching speeders, is that what you should be so praised for. Do some real work. Try infiltrating the so-called gangs, try something besides catching speeeeeeeders.

Yes because usually people in the process of committing a murder call the police while they are doing it. Murder is not preventable and surely is not the fault of the police.

lol. Sorry but that is such a silly statement. Are you the same one who sees GORE and violence daily and needs to laugh about it in order to deal with it?

I hope so. Scary to think there are two or more of people like that.

Geesh, we are all screwed.
