Let me sure I understand.

You're objecting to cameras that are specifically targeting law-breakers, but you're not bothered by the cameras that spy on all citizens walking down the street?

They always use that excuse. "How dare you oppose cameras!!! They save lives!!! Are you against saving lives!!!"

Meanwhile more pedestrians died under DeBlasio then Bloomberg.

same thing with the lunatics who want to give 6 year olds the covid vax "don't you care about kids?'
yes that's why i don't want to give it to them unless they're high risk for some reason.

Whether it’s considered breaking the law or not, why does it matter? A lot of places have speed limits that make no sense and only worsen traffic.

The same people who keep parroting that if you speed you are breaking the law see no problem breaking laws when they take tax deductions they are not entitled to or they fudge the amounts to stretch them

I'll say it over and over...

There is a WAZE around this ridiculous 25 mph law.


Gee....'m just in awe of why deaths have risen since speed camera implementation ? ( sarcasm )

Speed cameras are not the incentive. Cops on the beat have always worked.

Bring back Rudy................

No one is saying you can't speed. Just don't cry about it if you get caught. Everybody knows the rules. If you choose to break them, can't ***** about it if the cookie doesn't crumble the way you wanted it to.

Deaths have risen because of bikes and the accompany infrastructure (both recreational and business oriented). Some of the bike lanes are pure death traps.

Leave earlier to account for that "annoyance" or is planning and being on time "white supremacy"?

So ridiculous that I'm of the majority opinion. And the less said about your grammar-challenged ignorant statement on white supremacy, which is not even applicable here, the better.
