You probably support the red light cameras Buffalo is pushing for to under the guise of “safety” too right? Nevermind that red light cameras, especially the ones run by for profit corporations like Buffalo is looking at, actually cause more accidents than they prevent. word You pay fines for a reason… This is a “tax” our awesome politicians snuck in behind our back for extra revenue, and is total complete bullshit in my opinion. The government in NY can suck my cock. If they really gave a shit about safety, they’d outlaw smoking, not raise the taxes (again) on them 😉 ---

In my opinion, traffic tickets are written PURLEY for profit… Why do I say that? Because, if you REALLY wanted to cut down traffic violators, instead of fining them, make them do community service. IE: 10-20mph over = 5 hrs community service 20-30 mph = 10 hrs community service and so on and so forth. Your typical middle-upperclass citizen is not worried about dishing out $100 when he/she gets pulled over. BUT, start handing out community service instead of fines, and watch EVERYONE slow the fuck down. ---

I got hit with this 2 years ago. Random letter in the mail stating that I owe $150 a year for 3 years. Didn’t I pay the fine for these violations when I paid the tickets. The thing that sucks is that I received the ticket a year and half after my last moving violation. I haven’t gotten a ticket for 3 years or so now and I’m still paying for it.
