Just more big brother intrusion into our private lives! It will not end until BHO is gone. Vote Romney/Ryan in Nov comrades & save OUR Amerika.

You better keep these man made laws. Or else. But ehh, don’t care about GOD’s laws.

To all those worried about the stop signs with cameras,don’t worry about them,soon we will some 30,000 DRONES in the skies above us and the little ‘stop sign camera’ won’t matter much any more.——–SMILE,YOUR ON GUBERMINT CAMERA.—————just look at chicago,some are already being used.———B I G B R O T H E R is watching Y O U ,even indoors.night vision,inferred,thermo etc.,etc..————-Welcome to 1984.——————–

The use of these camera devices has little to do with issuing tickets and collecting fines. Above that is the potential help for law enforcement to locate fugitives. And, the most important reason these things are being installed everywhere, along with RFID readers and similar devices, is the development of an all-seeing, all-hearing, government control system to monitor and control the movements and activities of every person in the country 24/7.

Greed! pure and simple. I do truly hope all the government people are being watched like we are because they are the ones needing to be watched.

I myself do a lot of slow rolls through stop signs.However there are many instances where a yield right of way sign would be a more practical solution.Just sayin.

My earlier comment said that Peter Hitchens’s comments came from his Mail on Sunday column. That was a mistake. They came from a YouTube video instead.

In Taiwan, I was stopped for a red light in the outside lane, when another car zipped past me in the inside lane. A couple of seconds later, there was a blinding flash. I thought nothing of it, until I got a ticket in the mail. Apparently, since the only car in the photo was mine, it must have been me running through the red light. There is no way to fight such an injustice.

In Japan, traffic laws are strictly enforced. If you make a turn at an intersection that is posted with a “NO TURNS” sign, you will get a ticket and pay a fine. If the guy behind you also makes an illegal turn, your fine doubles and he gets the normal fine. If a third guy makes the illegal turn, your fine doubles again, the guy behind you gets a double fine, and the third guy gets the regular fine. The rationale for this is that had you not made your illegal turn, no one behind you would have been able to make an illegal turn.

Simple soluton:

Vote them out of office, replace with someone that will remove the cameras.

did not the courts already deam these illegal

How much gas is wasted on unnecessary stop signs, sometimes on every bloc or two?
If people in USA learned to drive, we could save some gas and those cameras could serve only to show how accidents happened.

Good afternoon BIG BROTHER morons! What is so hard to understand about stopping completely for a stop sign? It isn’t a money-generation issue, its a personal responsibility issue which apparently some of you don’t possess. I have a four-way stop with pedetrian crossings on a semi-major road nearby and every day some senseless @sswipe comes barreling through at 30 mph. A county cop sits there several times a month, and guess what. No more stop-sign runners. So you’d rather tie up a police officer than use stop-sign cameras. It’s about obeying the law, I don’t care how frivolous the law appears; just wait until an idiot plows into your car or your kids. Like to hear all about BIG BROTHER then. BTW: I’m not some limp-wristed uber-lib. I just hate clowns who think traffic laws are above them.

There was a study done a year or two back that disputed the whole safety aspect of these cameras. They were being installed in areas where accidents were occurring due to motorists running red lights. When the yellow light timing was extended, the amount of motorists that ran the light went down considerably. Somewhere near 80% +/- . There are many ways to handle public safety. Unfortunately, some new law or gadget is the route easily taken by most public officials.

This is getting to be such a Marxist state here in America with camera’s everwhere in our lives and Government getting bigger and bigger and another TAX like this to take even more of our hard earned income. If they put these in Colorado i am going to put on a mask and cut down everyone they put up with mu metal cutting blade in my battery powered Sawsall. Everyone should do this everywhere they see these TAX Generating invasive Freedom destroying camers’s. Right now in Denver you will be seen on Camera over 200 times a day if you are out and about walking driving or biking. If that is not Invasion of Privacy and our mFreedom from Government then nothing is. Viet Nam Vet 67-68
P.S. This is more like Marxism than America.

How exactly does it prove you ran the stopsign? A picture of your car at a sign is not proof you didn’t stop.

My wife kept getting tickets from a stop light camera. She whined, but I said at least someone didn’t hit you. She got the “picture” and stopped running the light. All in all, it really is a big moiney maker for the government. If we just took the extra seconds (milliseconds really), they would lose so much money they would have to raise taxes. Oh, they do that anyway.

While I’m not a big fan of the cameras, where I live in southern california, the attitude of drivers is – if there isn’t a cop, it’s legal. Thank God I learned how to be a defensive driver.

Peter Hitchens, in his Mail on Sunday column, wrote: “People see these things (surveillance cameras) as an answer. I don’t think they are the answer. I think the answer is the re-establishment of the FREE and ordered society we had until recently– before conscience was destroyed; before the married family, which is the basis of both private life and the creation of conscience and authority, was systematically undermined by the political parties, who decided that it didn’t matter anymore; before authority was removed from teachers and from parents and from adults in general over the young; and before that semi-visible web of protection, which was everywhere—the patrolling policeman, the park keeper, the bus conductor, the ticket collector on the train. These people were withdrawn entirely. We’re all very frightened because they’re not there. The CCTV cameras and all the rest that appeals to us as what appears to be a quick solution—they will just lead us to a Big Brother society. If you’re really, really frightened, think seriously about trying to recreate the things which kept us free AND safe not very long ago.”

Well big brother is watching, if this is what our country is all about government controling watching, invading into places government does not belong then we as a people are looseing more and more freedoms. Next the nannies will tell us what we can eat, what we can wear, what we can or can not say, take our guns, take anything from us that could create a problem for the end game of government which is total control over the population. Do “We the people” really want this to happen? ? ?

Often thought new signs using a triangle with red/yellow graphics would work a whole lot better and keep traffic flowing smoothly. If you cause an accident by blowing the traffic sign then you should be fined as well as having to pay a percentage of the others persons repair bill. Same thoughts regarding traffic signals.

saw a you-tube in Britain:old tire, can of petrol and one match later…toasted camera
very satisfying

Just another scam in the name of the law. What a shame. Seat belts is another.

Bryan Nash again with a non-story. If you get caught running a stop sign, you get a ticket. What else is new?

Just how reliable are these cameras? They have one outside the main branch of the public library where I live and each time it takes a picture it flashes. I’ve walked by that camera when cars run red lights and it doesn’t flash. I’ve walked by that camera when there are absolutely no cars at the intersection and the camera will take a picture.

If they did that where I live they would need cameras watching the cameras watching the stop sign cameras because the stop sign cameras would not last very long and the cameras watching them would last no longer.
