BTW, I think Rick’s picture is cute. LT5000 – whoever you are, you’re pathetic. I haven’t come across your column. Oh, that’s right – you don’t have one.

C’mon, Rick – of course it was all about the money.

Now if you want to talk about Big Brother, that as an a different thing. To me it would be against the 4th, 5th and 6th, Amendents

Most cities in Gwinnett are giving up the program because it costs too much to run,thus no profit.Use your fingers and do at least a litte researh, it’s in the paper.

LT, you are the only one analyzing the picture. It is touching, I mean it.

I believe it is/was all about the money. Too bad people who got tickets before the one second was added cannot get their $70.00 back. Both my kids got nailed. I once thought I would at the same intersection Rick is talking about as I made a rolling stop for a right turn on red, ticket never came though. Guess they didn’t get you for that.

LT,

You are as smart as you are observant. I do not subscribe to Rick’s RSS feed. That would be a useless waste of bandwidth. Much like Badie’s twice weekly moronic musings.

By the way

Take a look at Badie’s pic, if you can stand it. It isn’t flattering in any way, shape or form. I can only imagine a video of this pudding of a man in action.

However, it does go a long way in explaining the insipid content of his blogs.

LT, it is cute the way you subscribed to Rick’s RSS feed so you would get every little update. And the way you respond, just like a middle schooler pinching the boy he has a crush on. It’s precious, really.

I’m convinced the traffic photos are intentional money-makers. I am definitely against this type of government intrusion/Big Brother. There are many inaccuracies: I know someone who got a ticket for being in the intersection when the light turned red. But this individual was waiting to ensure oncoming traffic had stopped before completing the left turn. Thus, this defensive-driving was penalized.

I nearly caused a fender-bender when I stopped too soon, afraid the light would change will I was in the intersection. So rather than go through the intersection, I stopped, but the car behind nearly hit me. Overall, it’s a terrible invention and hope government will finally end the madness.

Revenue generation was always a big selling point when these companies were hawking these systems to municipalities. I also have a problem with a PRIVATE company issuing citations, which was the case in some of these situations.

The extra second of yellow light was a good idea and should actually be expanded in dangerous intersections. I would also increase the delay between a red light on one side and the green light on the other.
