Maybe low income drivers should acquaint themselves with traffic laws and then follow said laws.
There is a minimum requirement to obtain a drivers license. If they cannot read, or fail to pay attention, too damn bad!
In sum, if you are white - you can expect to get a ticket as the law stipulates
Cameras are RACIST!..................
People who are poor often make poor decisions...
The reasoning is stupid but I hate red light cameras, find them to be onerous and unfair, and have paid out about $700 when I really shouldn’t have had to due to one.
So I’m glad they’re out.
Well, yeah, if they put cameras in wealthy educated white areas they won’t get any money from them!...............
So it’s more important to save them money than their lives?
Good article.
That’s rayciss!
Wealthy people and poverty people are both in their places for the same reason.
They both keep doing things that perpetuate their existence.............
Let’s see - people who are poor have generally poor judgement? Or, poor people are more prone to not following rules and laws?
“The reasoning is stupid but I hate red light cameras, find them to be onerous and unfair, and have paid out about $700 when I really shouldn’t have had to due to one.”
Then, why did you PAY? It is only a civil fine, not a criminal one.
Poor people disproportionately run red lights.
We need Affirmative Action for traffic violations. Plus, minorities can’t be expected to have photo ID like a drivers license! That’s why we can’t require ID at voting booths.
I’m sure the red light cameras don’t care who’s driving the vehicle.
It a disproportionately high number of low income people are getting tickets, it’s NOT the camera’s fault.
Bugs the heck out of me when I see people blowing through four way stop signs in residential areas.
There are way too many B-A-D drivers out there today, and it's worse thanks to cell phones and texting while driving.
I felt safer driving at speeds exceeding 100 MPH on the autobahn in Germany than I do driving in the US.
Maybe an INCREDIBLY INSANE and ABSURD idea such as red light cameras and speed cameras should be illegal at the federal level.
They caused an accident for me. So ####ing concerned about that mother ####ing ticket that i stopped short at the yellow (they turn FAST in NY) and even though there still should have been plenty of time for her to stop, a woman rammed me with her truck. Incredibly, very little damage. Just a tail light.
Big Brother can go #### himself.
