      From: thetibetanmonkey@gmail.com              I'm quoting this and then I'm off with my two chihuahuas to ride my now       legendary beach cruiser that bears the motto "Revolutions for the Planet!"              (someone with a sharp mind --like mine-- says)              Camera-issued speeding tickets will be $35 for cars that exceed posted speeds       by 6 to 10 mph and $100 for those going more than 10 mph over the speed limit.       Those who start getting such tickets in the mail — particularly the smaller       tickets, where the        violation is arguably in the zone that's often accepted by custom — are going       to be wroth. And it's difficult not to see the removal of some of the red       light cameras as a pre-emptive strike against the inevitable "it's all about       the money!" backlash.              That said, I get it. And, on balance, I'm happy that Mayor Rahm Emanuel is       cracking down on the scourge of urban speeders, no matter what his true       motives might be. Speeders are a lot more dangerous to pedestrians and other       motorists than the hapless        folks who've been ticketed several times when the cameras detected them not       coming to a complete stop before turning right on red when there were no other       cars or people present, I swear!              http://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news_columnists_ezorn/2013/10/wh       t-a-coincidence.html              ***              I rest my case, for now.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
