Help me screw with the City of Arlington.

[90MarkVII]

they put them at campbell and 75, i think it was recently

now I noticed the green light is only 10 seconds long
probably half what it used to be.

coincidence?

Every single city that has installed stop light cameras have also shortened the yellow light at that interesection.

[GrayStangGT]

Sure thing, Hitler.

I read about a guy a few years back that researched the shit out of this theory to fight a ticket and turns out the light was like 30 milliseconds too short so he won his case. Only cost him a couple thousand dollars in legal fees.

Awesome!

Take a photograph of $75 (just like they did with you running a red light) and send it to them. Fair is fair.

You also have a right to face your accusor, so subpeona the red light camera to court so it can testify against you.

Hell go for full disclosure. The contract with the company operating them, the specs, the test data, all regulations, the installer, the technical qaulifications of said intaller and any person and/or entity maintaining them, any and all calibration data, I think you could probably demand a forest worth of documents.

Your insurance will now probably go up. Maybe you should call someone about it.

You do know they can charge you for research by the hour and documents by the page, right?

You might want to check out this recent post in a local forum. It appears that a citizen is trying tactics to beat a red light camera citation.

I would never pay that shit. I'm done paying extortion fees to cities for budget shortfalls. I have a home i bought years ago in Salt Lake City that i rent out. To make up for budget deficits, the city as been charging a "police fee" of $200 per year on top of tax increases to homeowners and businesses. Its basically extortion to me. Needless to say, i haven't paid it in 2 years. I have no idea if its on my credit report and could give a rats ass if it is.

Fuel prices are driving the prices of everything up and it's driving crime up.

The people making the least are paying the most percentage out-of-pocket for fuel and it hurts.

This shit is rediculous.

It's not trickle down economics if the people at the top are getting rich, is it?

I think it's just basic capitalism.

If it cost x dollars to make a product then I'm going to charge you y dollars for it. If it now costs me x+1 dollars to make it, then I'll be damned if I'm eating that $1. the consumer can now pay y+1 dollars for it, and possibly y+1.25 to cover my aggravation for paying more for my materials.

Charging something on futures or speculation should be illegal.
