Tyrel Dodson just gained himself a fan and a follower.
I like red light cameras. Wish there’d be similar ones for speeding in residential areas, too.
They are stupid. They are probably inadmissible as evidence in court when push comes to shove.I like red light cameras. Wish there’d be similar ones for speeding in residential areas, too.
They are stupid. Shouldn’t need stoplights and stop signs in the first place but lots of stupid people drive that shouldn’t. Same thing with speed-calming devices like speed bumps.They are stupid. They are probably inadmissible as evidence in court when push comes to shove.
They don't prevent accidents. At best they change the accidents you see. They are very questionable legally too. Partially because you can't identify the driver usually.They are stupid.

Arent red light cameras admissible in court to place a suspect at a certain time at a certain place?
Not sure what you mean by 'change the accidents you see'.They don't prevent accidents. At best they change the accidents you see. They are very questionable legally too. Partially because you can't identify the driver usually.
Considering stop lights are put in place to prevent accidents it only makes sense that enforcing them is designed to also prevent accidents.Not sure what you mean by 'change the accidents you see'.
I don't associate red-light cameras with accident prevention, just people running red lights or squeezing across and end up blocking the intersection when it's backed up.
Sounds like your red light cameras activate sooner. The red light cameras I’ve encountered here only activate after a car has entered the intersection when light’s already red.Considering stop lights are put in place to prevent accidents it only makes sense that enforcing them is designed to also prevent accidents.
So you think Red Light cameras help the flow of traffic? Because it's actually the opposite. People stopping prematurely actually does the opposite. And if accidents aren't prevented you have the issue of accidents backing up traffic horribly. I'm confused now what you think the intrinsic value of a red light camera is other than to make money?
As an aside, would you change the requirement of 12 unanimous jurors to convict and, if so, what would you change it to? Maybe even just a supermajority instead of unanimous?There are all kinds of authentication problems with red light cameras. People in favor of them, such as the government employees who vote for them, pay for them, and install them, are not familiar with the rules of civil and criminal procedure. You can probably get it thrown out if it was worth your time to do so.
