Citizens Fighting Back Against Speed Traps and Tickets

[@osmanvincent1975]

Fifty years ago, I and a girl friend drove past a country store, filling station and a couple houses. We were not in any hurry whatsoever. We were pulled over for speeding. I had reason to write a letter questioning some aspect of the ticket. The return letter had the names and titles of all the city officials. Four of five had the same last name!

If you actually want people to slow down and drive more safely, you put marked cars out on the road where they are clearly visible to drivers. THAT gets people to actually slow down. Hiding the enforcement mechanism doesn't make people safer. It's just for taking people's money. In fact, it encourages people to unsafely brake when they finally see the speed trap, thus making roads MORE dangerous. The way to actually make the road safer is just to put an officer is a marked vehicle in the flow of traffic, driving safely as a clear example to others.

This was some years ago, but there was an undercover cop driving in a van next to my boyfriend and I. He was taking be back to college, and it was in a small town so we're out in the boonies. We didn't know, but up ahead the streets merged up ahead. The van next to us kept speed..just enough to be right next to us so we had a choice to either speed up after we suddenly saw the merging sign, or slow down. My boyfriend, now husband, sped up. It wasn't by much. Just enough to get around the douche who was clearly cock blocking us to pressure us into doing what he wanted. He wasn't considered speeding until he sped up to pass the van. The undercover cop turned his lights on to pull us over and gave my boyfriend a ticket. Which he had to go out of his way to pay making it harder to contest since it was far out from where he lives. That was a legitimate speed trap. He knew college students drove around there, and he knew what he was doing in that specific area when he was pinning us to push us to make the wrong decision cause otherwise we would've hit if we didn't go forward or back. It definitely makes people mistrust the justice system when they do crap like that, and I definitely think there needs to be retribution for the wrongdoing for an easy squeeze of revenue. To add on with the video with the driveway, I'm pretty sure after she fixes it up it also means they can inflate on taxes. One of the reasons why people don't really go out of their way to make their place nice sometimes is because of that so she'd have to pay for the driveway and extra incentive via taxes due to an increase of property value 🙄 And about the guy who's making cool furniture, it's just another means of controlling resources because who wants productive people who can live apart from the bigger companies that help fund this ludicrous, corrupt system?

Towns like this especially police are so corrupt. If the police ever try to give a person a speeding ticket while they're making a turn or going around a curve. You can always challenge the ticket in court. Radar is known to give false readings on curves. Oftentimes the radar will read another car. But the first vehicle that pulls over is the first vehicle to get the ticket. A lot of times the police officer won't show up to court and the ticket is automatically thrown out. The speeding radar reading is almost never saved and without that in court the ticket is usually thrown out of Court.

Or writing citations for littering when people throw cigarette butts down, but when a cop throws one out of his police vehicle (in which smoking is not allowed) and it is reported-- well, we'll look into it. All personal experiences. Friend of mines son trained to be an officer in northern Virginia. Getting close to graduation, gave it up; policy was to "patrol aggressively", pull someone over and see what all you can cite them for. After experiencing this on ride alongs, saw this was an abuse of authority. My father was a career federal law enforcement officer; I grew up around city, state, FBI and even INTERPOL officers. These guys were professionals. Most of the police I encounter today are big mouth arrogant asses with a gun and a badge that believe in threats, fear and intimidation.

Do you pay "Property Taxes? If "Yes", then, Who you pay owns what you think is 'your' Property. Fail to pay for 3 to 5 years (depending on the County), and you'll find out who owns 'your' property.

If you want to hit the mother of all revenue collection cities via parking tickets, code violations ,etc. go no further than NYC. They really need a class action lawsuit. We do work for clients in Manhattan and park legally. We get tickets routinely on meters that still have time left. One we confronted a parking ticket writer and they slipped a ticket under our wipers. We pointed out that there were still 10 minutes left on the meter. The response - tell the judge. We're from out of state and come into town to work. To drive in and spend a day in traffic would would greatly exceed the $85 fine which is why they write the tickets - they know we'll pay.

[@gaiustacitus4242]

At least Doraville doesn't have ordinances which would prohibit the woodworker from practicing his craft. Such ordinances exist where in the county I live in. Oddly enough, if I lived within the city limits the noise ordinances are better defined and far less restrictive. Ordinances are typically less restrictive in rural areas.

For those who lack range time and the head is too small a target, thighs make a great and usually vulnerable target as well. A thigh shot can easily tear the Femoral Artery and there is little chance of not falling victim to the blood loss in a fire fight. Shattering the Femor also leaves the recipient unable to walk to further safety.

@@maryjones2222 When you look deeply into the incestuous relationships between prosecutors, judges and police you will find they are far more organized than what shows on the surface. There is an all out war on We the People and it is being carried out in a very perverse and covert way. You have to look across the broad spectrum of what is supposed to be the "Justice System" to really see the big picture of how it has been weaponised against us. There are very dark and evil forces amassing against humanity in general and the reality is that they are very organized and we are not.

For a number of years, the town that I work in had Red Light Cameras. At these locations the yellow lights had a duration of 1 second. The town generated lots of revenue from these traps. Luckily, a member of our State Legislature fought such practices and had the cameras removed.

They can stop writing tickets and raise property taxes by 25%

[@magicmark1837]

Most of these codes and zoning laws are nothing more than a racket. Zoning laws are often dictated to politicians by fat cat property owners in order to create and protect a monopoly on where you can or can't operate your business to keep their severely overly inflated rent flowing in.

I live in the Northeast. Our taxes on our property is higher. But, towns make NOTHING from a speeding ticket. Towns here are reluctant to go after homeowners for “code violations,” unless there are other homeowners who are asking them to correct issues of blight and neglect. In other words, the operating budget for our town comes from taxes, not from getting their local police all ginned up to fulfill quotas for ticket-writing. As a result, we do not have this tension between residents and government. Residents trust our government more.
