XPost: nyc.announce, nyc.general, nyc.politics XPost: nyc.transit From: dannyb@panix.com >>(To NYC's credit, they actually seem to ignore violations ON CAMERA when >>you don't quite make it before going red. I've been caught doing that >>plenty of times downtown, and never got mailed anything.) Having been _imprperly_ tagged by a light where the license plate had a " 0 " in it, but either the computer or the person.. read it as the " 8 " that my plate had... (They dismissed it when I sent in a note, along with a picture of the back of my car, showing that I was _not_ driving a vehicle that had a BMW logo on it...). Anyway, there are a bunch of _fake_ red light cameras around town, whose purpose is intimidation. (The NYS law allows for X number of real cameras, and then is either silent on, or allows for Y number of decoys. Kind of like el Presidente Reagan's idea for the shuffling ICBMs...) -- _____________________________________________________ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key dannyb@panix.com [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded] --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
