In reply to the discussion: After Plan for Speed Cameras Fails in Albany, a Tirade From Bloomberg [View all]davidthegnome
(2,983 posts)There are plenty of reasons for opposing speed cameras. To suggest that the people who don't support this legislation are responsible for the deaths of children is inaccurate, unfair - and overwhelmingly ignorant. There are better ways to get your point across than by misrepresenting people, making unfounded accusations - and generally acting like a talking ass.
I don't know if speed cameras are a good idea or not. I have heard that they work well in some places - and not at all in others. How would this work? You drive by... camera catches you going 30 in a 25, you get a fine? Camera catches you going 50 in a 25, you lose your license? Are we talking, primarily about school zones... or throughout the whole city?
I have never met anyone quite as eager as Bloomberg to sacrifice freedom for safety. He deserves neither.
