Yep, they tried to fool the stupid people with the “Red Light SAFETY Cameras” save lives bull-sh!t...Got about 47-48% of them last I heard...
They waited until the last few weeks of the campaign to run those idiotic radio ads...
Personally, I think we should wait till the 120 days are up...Then make a clean break with the contract...On day 121, then we should resort to some unconventional tactics...
Mayor Parker sure has been rather quiet about this issue, and something tells me she would be amiable if we cooled our jets till the contract termination clause is completed without incident...
If we see crews going around and taking the hardware down on day 121, then that would be ok with me...We should press the city to not half azz the effort to deactivate and remove the hardware either at that time...Be a shame for that equipment to be damaged in the meantime...
I haven’t run any lights and never got sent a ticket (although I did see a camera misfiring at drivers legally going through a green light at Westheimer and 610 one night, however).
I’m not worried about getting a ticket in the next 120 days, but the city will have to take them down sometime.
And hey! That’s a job that Obama can chalk up in his “shovel ready” column.
