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!

I'm confused. They're citing the law-abiding and there's no public outrage? (If that's true, then what the hell's the matter with you people?)

Most Englishmen, like most Scandinavians, accept obvious wrongs just too easily.

I didn't use to believe so, but I'd more and more found out that English mentality seems to be quite like Scandinavian.

By the way, that's why I call myself Litigious, but that's not a really proper translation. I'm a rättshaverist which means that I oppose the laws that are wrong, but not as an outlaw but merely fight a judicial guerilla war against the authorities.

Of course it sometimes do get illegal. I got feed a couple of weeks ago for driving too fast on the highway. Ridiculous. In Germany they can drive as fast as they want on the highway. I had to pay about $220 in fee. In retalliation I blew up a road sign for about $1500. I hate authorities and get even as much as I can...

Your own little Boston Tea Party, eh?

Well, you should probably move to Germany if you want to drive as fast as you want at no extra charge.

Yep. I'd have blown up a damned surveillance camera, if they didn't have security alarms and always stand so openly to anyone to see. 8)

Maybe. But I also dislike Swedish gun laws, as mentioned in another thread in this forum, so I maybe should move to America. But moving to Germany would be much easier.

Have the camera been sheilded from EMP? I doubt it. Though Eurpean country do have
sheilding requirments in there eletronic products that the US does not have. Anyway
a better idea is to build a EMP weapon in the truck of your car. The a large CB antenna
that you would place near the camera and blast. Hmm steal a new car each time.

I wonder the same, too. We let ourselves get walked all over in this country; the only people the government pay any heed to are the foreign bred religous extremists who are taking over our country — I blame you lot, you should have kept them caged up at Guantanamo.

Anyway, I digress; the people they are catching with the CCTV are technically breaking the law, but it's a fact that on busy British roads it's impossible not to. Over the last ten years, due to pressure from the commissars who control local government and the would-be dictators of Euroland of which we are now just a subsidiary, our transport infrastructure — that car drivers pay specific tax to use — has been allowed to gradually degenerate into a tangled mess of bus and cycle lanes, all held together with splashes of multicoloured asphalt, and laced with a veritable smorgasbord of confusing signage. Half the time you're lucky if you know if you're heading in the right direction, let alone whether you're committing one of the 1001 traffic offences.

We have those camrea on major roads in Texas. Hell there is one not too for from my house. Anyway I think the law is if they detect you run a redlight (what there mainly used for) the owner of the car is mailed a bill. And its a civil fine not a criminal offense.
That solves the problem of who is driving the car. I know all the camreas are monitor in one small town in Texas for my area of Texas anyway.

Over here we get a fine and penalty points on our licence. That's what I really find unjust. You can end up losing your licence by accumulating points just because some scum-of-the-earth politician with a fat salary and pension paid for by your taxes wants to raise revenue to compensate for his own financial incompetence. For many people, if you lose your licence you've lost your job. If you lose your job, you've every chance of defaulting on your mortgage and thus losing your house. And all of that for breaking the speed limit by 5mph at 5 in the morning!

Yellow boxes, if you don’t know are yellow strips placed on many types of junction. They are never supposed to contain stationary vetches at any time. You cannot wait in them to take a left turn and you cannot allow yourself to be caught waiting on one because of traffic ahead. You have to make sure that ahead is clear to be certain that you can go ahead.

There are implementing so many weird and wonderful cameras, one that get you if you go down wrong roads, ones that get you if you do a U-turn in road. The classic buslane and jump traffic light cameras. It not about speeding anymore, it is easy not to get caught by them, simply do not speed.

However, the "16-year-old" statement before the word "escort" made me think that the thread might be about a car, not the world's oldest profession. In most countries, the legal age of consent is 18. It's 16 in Israel (among a number of other countries), and there are escorts of that age.

lol - we have speed cameras on rural highways and freeways. There are new ones which are said to calculate your average speed over several km's of road.

Everytime I pass one I get a very strong desire to put a 270 bullet thru the camera.

I think they're very strong, both the metal and the glass. Here, people either blow them up or cut the wires that feeds them with electricity. I once tried to melt through a parking ticket machine with thermite. It didn't work, the metal only expanded a little bit. I think those machines are bullet-proof.
