That’s why cops sit around with cameras so they can fine rapists, thieves and murderers. The crimes are clearly of the same severity and in our judicial system receive the same punishment. Thanks for pointing that out, I totally forgot. > > If you can’t safely operate a vehicle over 55mph then by all means, don’t go over 55mph. But clearly most people can, which is why the police have switched to such tactics. > > My point with conformity is that we shouldn’t just do whatever the “authorities” tell us is best, and accept it at face value. Rendell wishes to turn I80 and I79 into toll roads to generate revenue for this financially failing state. This ticket surges are another form of fund raising. > > Throughout history such infringements on the rights of people have taken place, and the response of the people decides the course of events to follow. Should the sheeple prevail, the authorities will continue to strengthen their power and their grip as the sheeple do exactly as they are told without expressing disagreement on any level. That is what you suggest. > > Our founding fathers and other great men would suggest we question the limits themselves as well as the tactics employed, ensuring that the servant government is serving the people, not their own interests. > > But what do I know, just keep eating the line of bull that Rendell is feeding you. I mean look at PA taxes since he came into office, what an improvement! Well, you felt the need to over simplify things before, so why not over-exaggerate? I’m sure that John Adams, George Washington, and the other founding fathers found the laws regarding the speed of their horses to be governed so much that they must fight back against the English and their rule of the American colony. I appreciate your dislike for Rendell, but if you want to go off on a tangent, at least make it one that is somewhat correlated to your previous arguments. Taxing the interstates, while unpopular with some, is not against the law, does not limit to wish the harm in which people can inflict upon themselves and others because of their carelessness. A good example of authorities telling you what is best is the use of Cigarettes. It’s now a well known fact that they are harmful to your health and to those around you. There are some that would like to see them outlawed. They are not. People who wish to partake in them are warned and cautioned against the problems and downfalls of the cigarette, but nonetheless are legally allowed to partake in them. You are confusing driving with a right, which it is not. It is a privilege. It is a right to bear arms. It is a right to free speech. It is not a right to own a motor vehicle, therefore if you do not with to abide by the laws set forth, then feel free to no longer drive. It is real simple. If you are naive enough or stupid enough (or both) to believe that you are standing up for your rights and fighting the man by refusing to abide by laws which neither impede your ability nor limit the effectiveness of your vehicle, then you are the “sheeple” as you’d like to say. If you wanted to make such a difference, you’d be out doing it. Instead, your the guy standing on the corner or screaming from the mountain tops for no reason other than to hear (or in this case, read) his own words. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pa-speeding-ticket-blitz/197978)._
