My hometown has installed red light cameras everywhere. Not only do they check to see if you ran a red light (or yellow, or barely cross the line by a foot), but they also check your speed while going through the camera.
Should this be illegal? We all have had times where no one is at a light and the thing won't change. Or a bug hitting the wind shield right between your eyes long enough to distract you to stop just a hair to far across the line. Should we be getting tickets for this?
I've long said that we shouldn't enforce speed limits or things of that nature because if I drive 500 miles at 90mph and never cause anyone any harm, why should I get a ticket for that? I didn't hurt anyone, I didn't cause any damage, what harm have I done?
So, whats y'alls opinion of traffic cameras? Should they be in place but for very blatant violations like running a busy red light? Should they enforce a 2mph over speed limit and crossing the line by a foot, or running a yellow light?
As long as there are speed limits, you will have to observe them.Those limits are proactive, not retroactive. Why would you have the right to break laws just because nobody got hurt this time?

Should we then make a law that you can't cut anything with scissors? Sometimes someone may get cut.
Wow. We've reached a point where people are OK with government monitoring and dictating their every move.
The Crown is pleased.
Wow, we've reached the point where people think the British crown is some sort of vast conspiracy manipulating things the US when we are enforcing laws.
Let me get my tin foil body suit, I feel like I am going to need it.

Why forbid scissors when you are allowed to have firearms?
