The local authorities are introducing more CCTV to make more money. They are also trapping innocent drivers at yellow box junctions. Sorry mate, I just cannot let this one go ,I am still pissed off...
Yes, I've heard about this. It is disgusting. Unfortunately, that's how things are going in this country. The government is gradually instilling fear in every hard-working generally law-abiding citizen thus creating a society similar to 1970s Eastern Europe. Everywhere you go you're being watched either by your neighbours, your employer, or the apparatus of the state itself. Every word you speak is similarly scrutinised. Furthermore, political parties that operate outside the mainstream are harrassed by a politicised police force whose senior officers are ever keen to wedge their noses further up the a***holes of their political masters.
Anyway, getting back to the traffic thing, in this neck of the woods speed cameras are often burnt or even blown up with explosives. It's often made my day when I pass by the charred remains of one, and would happily buy the arsonist a drink or two as recompense for his endeavours. Happy as that may make me, I still dream of the day of the revolution when those who run the Safety Camera Partnership, wheel clamping firms, and of course, their thieving counterparts in local councils, are swinging from the lamp posts!
