Red Light Cameras a blessing in disguise.  A rant by: BigB I love the red light cameras. 1. They give you a warning 1/2 a block before your photo shoot. So your an idiot if you do get one. 2. No demerits for tickets 3. If you get a fine chances are you are better off getting it rather then having a dink of a cop pull you over and ticketing you with the demerits. I mean, obviously your a speeder. So consider yourself lucky! 4. With the majority of the ticketing revenue coming from these silentsam's the odds of getting a real ticket are lower and to boot, you can drop the pedal to the floor after you pass through one until you see your next warning sign. Or of course the obvious new model cleanly washed chevy van or suv (blazer) which is spotted a mile away. All in all, if your not mentally challenged you shouldn't be getting any speed violations. The law has spoken. << Back Add a Comment Comments ( Add a Comment ) THETRUTH says: 2005-10-16 04:40:15 then don't talegate Anonymous says: 2005-10-19 23:26:30 exactly Anonymous says: 2005-10-19 23:31:46 .

It is those damn mobile ones....I pay attention to the cars in front of me, not the stupid cops trying to deplete all of my savings! Anonymous says: 2005-11-10 16:49:36 I hear ya JJ, those hidden trucks suck! I heard in quebec some kids took the license plate off one of those vehicles, and put it on theirs, then they drove past it about 50 times getting tickets with the photoradar's license plate. SOLMoFo says: 2007-04-02 09:48:36 I'm also a big fan of traffic cameras... I recently passed one drunk out of my head, in a stolen car, while shooting heroin, smoking crack, getting a blowjob from a hooker, and brandishing a firearm. But I wasn't speeding, so I was fine!!! Greatest invention ever... - Bin Laden Rigel says: 2007-04-08 16:18:24 I can live with red-light cameras, but what really irritates me is the way many intersections where they're located don't have weight sensors embedded in the pavement so that the traffic signal itself isn't triggered unless there's a vehicle there waiting to cross. Last November I was nailed at Keewatin & Selkirk when the light timer caused the signal to change; yet there weren't any vehicles waiting to cross east-west so there was no need for north-south traffic to come to a stop. So the cameras shouldn't be installed at intersections where they're not needed; otherwise, vehicles are just left sitting there with engines idling wasting gas and adding the pollution that governments and environmentalists keep yapping about as contributing to the alleged climate change. The idea is to keep traffic flowing, not to slow it unnecessarily, especially in a city like Winnipeg which doesn't have any freeways and where where synchronized lights are as common as palm trees in Churchill. BigB says: 2007-04-21 12:31:17 I have an idea. Start driving the posted speed limit. Jackasses. SOLMoFo says: 2008-01-06 15:53:49 "Drive the posted speed limit" WTF? you sound like "the man", man. Where is the challenge or fun in that? Jesus, live a little... hey! Wait! Now I know where I saw BigB before... it was on the licence plate of an AMC Gremlin going down the Perimeter at 47kph! Get off the road and take a f***ing bus! Some of us have places to be...

It's true that only idiots get the tickets, cause there's warnings posted, plus, there's plenty of resources letting you know where they are (websites, radio, newspaper) But my fear is the idiots who over worry about them. The many times I've almost gotten whip-lash, or into an accident, cause the light changed to yellow and the driver decided to slam on brakes for fear of getting a ticket.
