Huh.  Okay. 

Actually I don't particularly mind if they have powerful vehicles.  The only thing that bothers me is that now they're using undercover cars for traffic enforcement.  Argh.

If you can't pay the fine, don't do the crime.

That's fair.

Robocops aren't, though.  That's fucking cheating.

No fucking Robocops until I get my flying car dammit!!!!

Or my jetpack!!

Or the alternative fuel source they promised by the 80's.

Or the fucking transporter from Star Trek!!!

Fucking scientists working on global warming and shit instead of important stuff like flying fucking cars!

We have 60 of the bastards in metro Tucson alone.  Drive past them at 11MPH or above, or go through a light a bit late, and your smiling face arrives in the mail with your $225 ticket.

Er, that's 11MPH above the speed limit or higher.

We have the traffic light Robocops.  They have discovered that extremes in weather can make the camera take a picture for no reason.  Since that was proven in court, along with the "prove I was driving" defense, these tickets get thrown out 98% of the time if you actually fight them.  Most people just mail a check!

You mean the camera devices that take a picture if you go too fast, then applies a bit of computer vision to extract the license plate to automatically send you a fine? You call those "robocops"? In the Netherlands, you have those things all over the fucking place.

Any idea how quickly they pay themselves back with the extra fines? They're basically free money for the government.

They used to sell little radar devices that detect them so you know where the mobile ones are (most of them are stuck in place though). But they outlawed them.

For the stationary ones, their spots are marked in the TomTom navigation maps.

Oh another funny story, last year with Sinterklaas (think Christmas), this one town had their flash-pole-cameras gift-wrapped, as a "present" for car drivers
Wait no I seem to be wrong, it was an advertising campaign for an energy-drink called "Go Fast". Surprisingly, no charges were pressed because the local cops thought it was pretty funny, too.

They've doing that here for six or seven years. They're easy to spot thought. If I see a white Cadillac, I slow the fuck down to right about the speed limit. I rarely drive more than five miles an hour above the limit anyway, but cops in my town are bored.

[Adios]

I never speed.

[Jasper]

Even when the traffic is all moving ten mph faster than the posted limit?
