Or as has been shown in numerous jurisdictions, when the lights are rigged with short ambers that decrease safety, but increase red light violations. Yeah the govt and its police depts are all about our safety

I have to say this goes with California stop at a stop sign, in the middle of no where, low and behold there is a red light pulling me over. When the officer ask why I did that.....My reply, "I stopped officer just not all the way." I always make sure a gun is not sitting in my lap, though.


Laws are for all of us, not just some.

LOL, my first gut thought was that I hope they were able to bomb the pinhead in such a way that the robot didn't get blown up too. Don't wanna waste tax payer money!!

I'm guessing because the law specifying running a red light doesn't have an exclusion that includes hours during the day you can violate it.

The Bomb Removal device? It was likely - judging by the appearance of it - based on a military RC device. Except that the military version probably wouldn't have a grabbling hand, & would probably have heavier weapons - a light machine gun, for instance.

If they are so upset, why not send in some liberal volunteers to shoot the perp next time?

Pretty easy to avoid being fined. Don't roll through red lights. Come to a complete stop.

You were fined because you broke the law. Bet you're more careful next time. Next time there might be someone else on the road at 4 am.

They need to do this more often. I believe someone needs to invent a rectal explosive.

The left should be shocked when these technocrats end a relationship via text...or shocked when they walk out into an intersection staring down at their smart phone and get swished by a bus..The left should be shocked when in twenty years Muslims and Asians own America because of the left's failure to guard nation turf and wealth...The left should be shocked when their chronic pot smoking kids take on the jobs of cleaning the toilet of prosperous Mexicans who avoided being stoned everyday...the left should be shocked when they realize that marriage means nothing and no one has a sex anymore...that we are all designated as things -
