OT - Speed Cameras
Fast backwards to the late 60's. Arlington, Texas, installed speed cameras.
After a couple of Bubbas got tickets for going over the speed limits, they simply drove by with their 12 ga's and 00 buck at ten miles under the limit and disposed of said cameras. The DPS got tired of replacing expensive cameras and quit using them. Now that there is the capability of recording everything, even people who are driving under the speed limits, I suppose that doesn't happen any more. Unless, maybe a bicycling Bubba, or one out walking their put bull .................. Steve Heart surgery pending? www.cabgbypasssurgery.com |

http://www.speedcam.co.uk/gatso2.htm The normally very polite English aparently do not take kindly to speed cameras. I wonder if American devices will ever meet a similar fate? They have adopted the "burned in effigy" or similar to that. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Steve B" wrote in message .. . Fast backwards to the late 60's.

Yes, you may have the law on your side, but try to get blood out of that turnip that just ruined your new car and a year of your life. Who needs a ten year old "manufactured home" with a balance on it? Laws don't mean dooky most of the time. |

Sadly, the "less" people are the ones who either don't know
the law, or don't really give a hoot. So, I'm driving along at an honest speed, and another driver unsafely slams me in the butt end. This happened Dec 01, 2010. Totalled my Blazer, and put me in the hospital. As luck would have it, the fellow in the semi went off the road, and needed to have his truck winched out. Plenty of illegal guns out there, but people like me don't pack heat because of this or that law. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Jim Wilkins" wrote in message ...
