To me, there is times when some human error was made, but the enforcement, and act of the law was in good intent, then there is an almost criminal like nature of some laws and their enforcement. I think this falls under the former, but thats my opinion, and unlike driving a car, its a RIGHT I have. Driving is a privvy, not a right, something people forget. That neighborhood has likely had problems with speeders, and stop sign runners, and perhaps thats why they were there. There was every good intention there to protect the public from excessive speeding, and even during rush hour, some streets you can beat the speedlimit on, even in almighty Denver. When I see people try to weasel out of situations, instead of taking responsibility for their actions, it reflects the kind of person they are. Judging by the comments that go with this thread, it tells me alot about some people, just like the thread a while back about someone losing a gun at a range. Being a gun owning american doesnt mean you have class, you have to show it sometimes. And by that, this is where I step out of this ring.
So I assume you drive the speed limit at all times, fully stop at all stop signs, and obey all laws and posted signs? If not do you find the nearest police officer and let him know what you did and ask for a ticket and for him to render judgement on you?

If not, then there isn't much of an argument on your side. You can say "yeah she broke the law and a camera caught her doing it", but what happens if they install a camera and computer on your car that is GPS equipped that reports every time you break one of the laws, then the state you register your vehicle with sends you a monthly bill for them all? You would probably go bankrupt.

There is a big difference between some BS automatic system designed for revenue, and a police force that is there to use discretion and write tickets when they feel necessary, what they are paid to do and what their job title is.

If you don't agree with that, then I hope I am the one selling the GPS units required on all cars and can work in a 5% personal profit from all the revenue.
