The majority of the offenders that they will try to be prosecuting will be the residents of Buffalo. Good luck with that. Not that we aren’t already one of the highest taxed regions in the country, now the politicians want to levy what amounts to an additional tax for city residents. This is shameful and nonsensical. ---

Just because people (myself included) do it, and don’t get charged does not make it legal. You’re supposed to wait, behind the line, outside of the intersection, until your gap in traffic, and then turn. > [@ultradriver10000](#): > > So everyone in Buffalo that drives around with snow covering their plates will get fined?!

Just because people (myself included) do it, and don’t get charged does not make it legal. Cops let us get away with things all the time, but you can’t use that selective enforcement as a precedent when arguing against something else. ---

this shit is so stupid…as soon as i come to buffalo i get a tint ticket i drive almost always in CT, tint is still illegal here, never a problem - cops don’t even look my way. in NY, a state trooper pulls me over on the highway for them in the middle of nowhere on the 90. so shitty. ---

> [@MOBOOST4U](#): > > Yeah, I never run red lights, I really dont care. > > The mobile speed traps however, might be an issue someday. Have you run a yellow? When they knock that grace period down to .1 second that’s where I have a real problem with it. That’s not a safety issue then because the car getting the green wouldn’t even had a chance to step on the gas yet, it’s purely a money grab. ---

I am not so worried about me running the yellow. I am more worried about the asshole behind me who ends up in my backseat when I slam on the brakes to stop at a yellow light. ---

Anyone ever see the movie “Fun with Dick and Jane”??? In the very begining of the movie when Jim Carey runs the red light and the camera catches his grimmicing mug of anger hahahaha I keep thinking of that scene as I read through this thread. The law enforcement Im sure will have some good laughs of people running red lights and having the “oh god dammit” expression on their face hahaha ---

i’ll be worried about people behind me not stopping when i stop for a yellow i’m not sure about… ☹ it’s bad enough when i stop for blatant reds in the city, people will swerve around you into the other lane and run it. now you’re pretty much guaranteed to get rear ended. ---
