jhulud Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Today I went to court to fight a red light camera citation. I lost. Got a very bullshit excuse that there are no FL statues to support my defense. So now I gotta come up with close to $300 in 30 days to pay the damn thing. I'm feeling completely defeated and shot down. No idea how I will come with that amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seriously curious, they've started installing red light cams in my hood. Edited September 2, 2016 by Bladewillisisdead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Utah rules. Freeways are 75-80MPH, no red light cameras, and almost no toll roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I was in my work truck (Ford Escape) on the left turning lane waiting for the light to change to go. I was behind a tall box truck that was blocking my line of sight and couldn't see the light. Started moving forward and I held back at a safe distance to get a glimpse of the light but was still being blocked by the box truck. As soon as I was in the middle of the intersection veering left and the box truck had veered also and cleared my view, that's when I saw the light was red. My defense was that my line of sight was blocked even though I maintained a safe distance from the box truck and it was too late for me when I got clear. The damn judge spewed some bullshit that there is no FL statute to support my defense and therefore I crossed a red light. So now have to pay the $158 fine plus $125 court fees. Total bullshit. She was denying everyone today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Here, they've been deemed unlawful as well in a lot of areas. I got oh so lucky to be the in town that still has them and doesn't give a rat's ass. The kicker is that the company that maintains and records all the shit and sends them to the pigs locally, they're based in AZ. So essentially, they record any time it's tripped. Forward the images and videos to the local pigs...and some asshole pig reviews them and pushes a button to issue the citations and fuck up people's lives.

Thomas³ Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 We don't have red light cameras in Akron, they exist they are just not used. They used to have them in plain view in school zones, but the state said they are unlawful so they don't put it out anymore. I know red light cameras exist in other cities in Ohio though.

Chromebooks are as simple as you think. A different OS might be difficult for someone with no pc experience at first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapalmBrain Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Can't believe I've missed Riot Fest every year, but I said to myself "Lush boxset or Riot Fest Ticket?" Lush won cause that was just for ticket, then I need to drive an hour and a half each way for 3 days (or buy a hotel room), food, merch and then I would have to deal with anxiety and festival crowds and see most of the bands I wanted to see play shorter sets. I might look for a one day ticket for tomorrow then I could at least catch Sleater-Kinney who was the main draw for me. The other issue is there is only a couple of bands each day I'd like to see and good luck getting a good spot to see the Misfits Sunday unless you want to hang out in front of that stage all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
