I love when people post up issues from their personal life on the Internet, ask for opinions, and then bash the responses.  :)

Ask the guy who makes the cameras if I can have my $341 back. >:(

Have you considered stopping on red?  :P
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Whats wrong with traffic enforcement cameras?
If you don't break the law you have nothing to fear.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

when a women panic stops on a yellow light because she didn't want to get another "red light camera ticket" and I run into the back of her....that's what's wrong with them.

So......you admit to the court that you are aware of your tailgating habit, Mr. Maximus?"

no.

thankfully I was at a low enough speed to avoid serious injury.

my pristine 996SPS was a total loss, however.

and I think you guys are all missing the point of DDDave's involvement.  He sells cabinets.  The guy who wants to buy cabinets is the evil camera guy.

So? Anything can be looked at as evil.

He's the one that turned it into a moral question. I thought he was going to be doing something to do with the cameras. Making cabinets for a guy involved in a business you don't care for? Unrelated IMO.

Regarding the lady and the yellow and you on a motorcycle. A: Yeah, she was probably an idiot. B: Your on a moto, you are supposed to expect everyone to hit you or get in your way. B.2: Your on a moto, you should know to be careful on  yellow lights and at intersections in general. That's where most motos bite it.

exactly, I was approaching the intersection, scanning both directions, etc.

when she slammed on her brakes, I didn't see it right away, grabbed a fistful of brakes, and un-intentionally revved the motor at the same time.  I endo'd into the back of her truck.  My body did more damage to her truck than my bike did.  :o
