Complete twattery to fine a man for natural instincts like going very fast using a product perfectly designed for that task. Absolute twattery. | ||

Coming soon to the US no doubt - traffic fines based on your economic status. What will they think of next? | ||

Coming soon to the US no doubt - traffic fines based on your economic status. What will they think of next? They're doing it already. I'm finding that red light s'cameras are more prevelant in neighborhoods w/ money. | ||

That's only because the "monied" are the ones bitching about speeds past their mansions...and they have their representatives' ear on the matter (or they live next door). | ||

I kind of like the idea. A fine is supposed to hurt, or it isn't a penalty. What's a $100 speeding ticket to a guy that has millions? Make it hurt him as much as it hurts the rest of us. | ||

Chicago's red light cameras don't seem to be correlated with neighborhood income. What's really interesting, is that the cameras seem to have a negative impact on traffic safety. Many of the monitored intersections actually have more accidents, compared to when they didn't have cameras. | ||

That's because they're not there for safety sake. Yellow lights are shortened to game the system and cause more tickets, and therefore, more accidents too. |
