RE: Covers Or Spray-on That Makes Your Plates Invisible to Red-light Cameras
Quote from MGDMike: Driving is not a gauranteed freedom, sorry man, its a privalege. With that kind of thinking how about letting me just get in a Semi and transport some biohazard waste in the middle of the town? Why not? Its my freedom. Taxes are just part of life man, when they become excessive and unreasonable then we'll do something about it. However, some accountability needs to stepped up though on some of the unessessarry(<-sp?) items. Guys I'm sorry about your towns light situation (we had that problem up in my home town in North Dakota) The lights were fine for us when traffic was less dense but then the population started to rise and created a mess. Is that ya'lls situation? We got it resolved finally but it took a while. And they put in the red light cameras as well.
This is MISSOURI, where do you think all that biohazard waste goes through???? I70...... Excessive and unreaonable taxes, the last time we as citizens stepped up to the plate and said that IS ENOUGH, WE had ourselves a Tea Party in Boston. No, as far as someone else's comment on running red lights, what would I do if I was the Mayor??? I would have my Aldermen, (Since it seems most of the members of this forum do not seem to understand that it is the Aldermen who make the desisions, NOT the Mayor) ASK ME I KNOW!!!!!!!! I would have them order the Police officers to patrol the areas of most concern. However, you cannot get all areas all the time. We are not a perfect society. Otherwise, we would not even need to discus anyone running a red light.

I have never seen so many people with so little to do.... I take it there wasn't anything good on
TV ??? This is like watching the media rip up the presidents speach word for word.... It does not matter how deffensive you drive someone is always going to screw up and hit you. Case in point I was first in line, the van stopped behind me, to bad the Ford Focus going 45mph didn't. She hit both of us. If you try and leave enough room between you and the car in front of you, guaranteed two cars will pull in front of you. Bamory you make these cameras sound like they have a "brain"( I don't think you actually understand how these lights work, If your caught in intersection its not running a red light, the camera knows this because it records light activity while filming) However, when the alderman of your city get "sold" on the income (65%) on this lovely little progam, that is not what they are told happens. the company that installs the cameras receives 35% of the income. I wonder why they push this program????? It's not because they are pushing safety! they want the MONEY!!!!!!! livinginh you can be the queen or king of the road, and STILL get stuck in traffic in this city. It's not that someone running a red light should not do so, it's not that it's not dangerous or that it does not cause accidents. The problem is that MODOT does not have the lights working together and they are at every block, and traffic congestion is just awful. Then you get people who don't drive the speed limit backing traffic up. People are only going to get more frustrated and angry when you start putting in cameras that are going to monitor traffic and mail out tickets to the owners of vehicles (and it may not be they who is driving) caught in intersections when the light turns red. Now we can add people slamming on their breaks to make sure they are not caught by the camera to the mix (a few more accidents that wouldn't have happened had they not been there) We as a people are giving up everything for money. Our freedoms are not freedoms anymore (licenses), we don't and can't own anything free and clear (taxes). We have to pay to do everything anymore. Now how about that for food for thought!?!

Nice replys... hehe
If I was the mayor huh?
Well since I dont like cameras I would do what europe does when there is alot of deaths in a area. They put in a traffic circle. You have to slow down to enter and if your going to hit someone you will be going alot slower. If you guys have never used a traffic circle you should know they rock. Thats what I would do.
In america when you run the red you have a nice stretch to accelerate down - thus you are going through the middle of the intersection at a high rate of speed. In my circle you cant attain anywhere near the speed. I use a few circles each morning on my way to work and love them. Instead of sitting at a light I just slow down and take my turn. It saves time and saves fuel.

#1: and the most important item is I don't drink and drive. Done with that sentence.
The rest of the items: I don't do tolls, I go around them (legally). There's enough people already driving to pay taxes to take care of my 1/10000000000000000000000000000000000000000th contribution. Screw Shell gas their expensive so I use QuikTrip. I don't buy new cars. Whats the point of buying new when as soon as you drive off the lot, the car already has depreciated a ton? The guy who does my repairs isn't poor he has a steady business. The 3rd world people make the parts so dealerships can supply them to us. Mall schmall, I haven't been to one in months and I definetly don't rush to them. I wash my own car I don't let other people do it and I don't eat at places that iron their burgers. And if you need to get somewhere there are taxis, trains, scooters, skates, skateboards, run, jog, bike, blah, blah and blah; and don't forget your bus token!!
