  • I’m at the point now to where I don’t really care about one’s politics anymore. However, if you agree with the surveillance state you are an enemy to regular people. I no longer care if you mean well…your collective stupidity will take us all down if we allow it. As a whole, the older generation does not understand the dangers and they’ll be gone before it truly impacts them. This blind trust in government is insane in this day and age.

    • Better get rid of your cellphone.

      The cameras are to slow down speeders. I’m guessing you don’t travel the turnpike either. People like yourself need to crawl out of your caves.

        • Some peeps can’t handle it when reality steps up and smacks them in the face. Hypocrites hate when their own hypocrisy gets pointed out to them.
          Watch out for the 👽, they’re out to get you too.

  • If you Like this you will Love Cars Government controls and can shut off whenever they desire, You will Love that

  • Florida Judge Rules Red-Light Camera Law Unconstitutional back in March 2026. There are plenty of website telling you how to defeat them in court. Basically: The government bears the burden of proving its case, not the other way around. In other words, they have to prove you were the driver at the time of the violation. Can’t prove it, it gets thrown out.

  • This should apply to law enforcement and all government vehicles.
    It should be illegal these vehicles to speed through with immunity.

  • I do not trust the government. Local. Federal, State. Period. Full stop. After Covid, anyone who still trusts these little Karens, these bullies, these pathetic power-hungry fools who swore masks were worthless, then mandatory, vaccines were safe and effective, and then mandatory to work, and you trust these same people with the keys to your car?!?! To one day decide if you can drive, how far you can drive, what time of the day you can drive… you have only yourselves to blame. Life is hard, but it’s harder if you’re stupid.

  • $11,000 stolen from working people driving though “school zones” with no flashing lights during summer vacation. Are you proud of yourselves?

    60% of that money goes to fund free phone calls for prisoners and the county’s programs to recruit more criminal homeless to the area. The predatory camera company gets their cut as well.

    Most of the rest goes to the school board to fund inclusive interspecies non-trinary bathrooms and porn for the school libraries.

    If anyone really cared about safety you’d stop letting violent homeless people terrorize families at every stoplight and fix the roads.

    • Don’t forget post-binary-multi-trinary-gender-fluid-gender-static-agender-and-all-points-between-terrestrial-extraterrestrial-interspecies-trans-mammalian-AI-adjacent-hypothetical-future-lifeform-inclusive-pending-further-taxonomic-review porn. That one’s the best. Everyone on the public school boards loves that category on Porn Hub.
