Worried about toys, what about out of control crime, useless governor, useless administrative policy in San Fran and Oakland

[@craigpatterson8551]

When will the citizens of Ca finally have enough?

[@maestrovso]

CA state government is the biggest price gouger of gas of all kind.

[@heh2k]

Yup, deliberate misdirection. For those who don't know, CA requires a special blend that's used no where else, hence is much more expensive than commodity gasoline. It's like organic gas, if you think of how organic milk is more expensive. So the CA politicians want the ignorant masses to blame the oil companies, when it's them. And it's really all to control LA smog, because LA is in a valley and the smog gets trapped there. It would be EVER MORE expensive, if the entire huge state wasn't forced to share the burden of more expensive gas for LA.

The cameras are unconstitutional they tried that with red light cameras

[@mason5540]

They clearly hate the US Constitution

[@teeciewalk]

Right and that’s why they aren’t in use now.

[@straycatsean]

they reduce crashes by forcing people to drive on other streets, causing more crashes.

[@goodday126]

Bingo. I feel sorry for adjacent neighborhoods. The CA Ds who run these cities don't give a flying f--- about our safety, only revenue to keep the grift afloat.

[@joshscott3184]

What about a gender neutral traffic lane??. It's comin.

[@metallus2]

But are the thumbs up because they also think it is funny or because they honestly agree with you. Consider that...

Lets all pray together that nobody cuts those cameras down with those powerful angle grinders.

Like they did all over the UK haha

[@RandomCaliforniaAdventure]

Idk about you guys but getting fake plates on your front isn't a bad idea! See so many reckless drivers these days with fake plates, I might as well join the winning team. Also use paint thinner on your plates to take off that first layer so if the flash from the camera happens...the chances of it capturing your plate is fairly low. Although I don't condone resorting to this method to carry out crime but to protect yourself from a tyrant state that is hell bent on GREED!

[@Skull-Beneath-The-Skin]

Gender neutral toy section, what insanity..

it is illegal to use traffic cameras to issue citation . The officer must be present

yep, don't sign the admission letter

[@machtnichtsseimann]

Look on the bright side. It's ONLY 6 cities with the speeding cameras in effect! For now.

People will avoid those cities, hurting business even more

@@mason5540 That is what the crooked Government wants run all of the small businesses out ! they only want big corporations! then congress can tell them what stock to invest in so they make a fortune and screw us citizens over, well ive got news for the crooked Politicians just wait till people all across America stop paying taxes and stop going to work, the entire frigin Government will go bankrupt ! American citizens will start over, this is what all Politicians fear the most.

WTH is gender neutral toy section? Who asked for that?

[@сашай_плюс2]

Some perverts asking about it

[@billyb4790]

Ironically it was the people who are walking stereotypes of men and women, pretending to be someone they’re not.

[@sharegamingtips5828]

Unborn baby of course or thrives, Easy for them to find the toy section to take home

[@whiskeykilmer1866]

A special toy section for alphabet kids, only in California.

[@garryrc]

Can't they just make pink toy machine guns and call it a day?

[@harlanjackson6112]

No, they're just telling big retailers to stop separating toys marketed to boys and toys marketed to girls. Put them all together so kids can choose what they want without being led to believe that it's 'wrong'.

@@harlanjackson6112it’s stupid no matter how you spin it. Ffs are we totally incapable of existing without government being involved in EVERYTHING? 🤦🏻‍♀️ this “issue” is up to the parent, not the retailer.

[@harlanjackson6112]

@@kateashby3066 BITD we had gauges on our cars to give us oil pressure, temperature, volts/amperage, etc. But as we decimated education, idiot lights became a thing. Please don't get me started on how we SHOULD be smart enough to figure everything out on our own, including recognizing tricks retailers AND manufacturers play to maximize sales at the expense of uninhibited choice. But here we are, and if our government run schooling isn't going to educate us appropriately, then I guess there will be the requirement to display toys the old fashioned way WITHOUT pigeon holing them by gender (complete with pink or blue boxes which is a relatively recent phenomenon.) Of course it's stupid.

[@timedj9164]

Let me guess the company behind the cameras get a cut.. and there is no way for someone who gets a ticket to know if they got a ticket based on a malfunction or some arbitrary glitch.

[@n1fffan]

I love how, for ages, we've been dealing with the harmful effects of stereotypical gender roles, and for a little more than a decade at this point, we have been grossly overcorrecting on that. the gender neutral toy aisle law is just the latest point in the pendulum swinging in that direction

[@kateashby3066]

Dumbest sh!t I’ve ever heard 🙄

[@alanchen6625]

.....gender neutral.... Im so leaving this state

[@CryingOrc1]

Gender neutral toy section to eliminate stereotype? I've been speaking English my whole life. Why am I not understanding this?

[@harlanjackson6112]

The legislation was named after Britten Sires, a 9-year-old girl who's been fighting to break down gender roles across the state. The self-proclaimed feminist said she came up with the idea for the bill when she felt awkward about entering the boy's section. "I was like, wait, why is there a boy's section? I'm a girl, but I want to go in it," Britten said. She noticed two main differences between the boys' and girls' departments that made her feel uncomfortable. "Boys is more like knowledge and trying to get them smarter so they can get into a good college and get a good job, and then women's is more like makeup and cooking sets," Britten explained. She said she now owns lots of toys and clothes from the boy's section because those were the items she liked the most.

[@mooctopia123]

I am not against speed, cameras, or red light cameras as long as they are able to identify the actual person who is driving instead of giving the ticket to the owner of the car. As of the law right now, I think it is illegitimate to blame the owner of the car Was not driving At the time.

[@Esteban_Herrera]

Traffic Cams are provided by a Photo Enforced Camera company who lobbied themselves into service. The police are not allowed to set quotas for tickets. These Photo Enforced Companies must have quotas to stay in business. They provide a revenue stream into the police. This revenue stream can be skimmed from. Technically people don’t have to pay. They never signed a ticket promising to appear. They are not tickets, they are invoices from some Photo Enforced Company. These companies don’t even have to be American companies. Just where is the revenue going?

[@iamcancer3298]

Imagine getting a speeding ticket in the mail because the car right next to you was driving too fast.

[@dondada2959]

California absolutely sucks now

[@000.yellow]

i dont think its the housing so much to be availability but its the cost. theres already too much over crowded complex, duplex, buidlding on top of buidling and space is becomes smaller and smaller especially sidewalks, drive throughs, streets. we need rent control to be affordable we need to bring this back into all community across ca. rent should be according to income and match the renters needs especially for those starting all over again. what happened to 675 or 775 rent for two bed room and studio. we need to bring this back into all community's of California.

[@kyoung5600]

Waste of taxpayers money

[@SC-pe9ir]

Do the cameras have to have a clear picture of your face?

[@yurydolinsky]

Nope , the registered owner gets screwed to my knowledge 😂

The cameras dont legally work.. unless stated by sign and designated area.. and warning ⚠️ of ticket.. you can't have a hidden camera doing what it wishes or private citizens can also use dash camera etc to to privately give out tickets by turning in camera footage.. notice the invasion of privacy ?.. must have posted signed on road and on sides with warning before entering areas.. plain and simple or easy to sue the state without effort

Yellow light means stop.

[@kateashby3066]

Lol no it doesn’t otherwise people would have to stop mid-way through the intersection if that’s when it turns yellow. Yellow means the light is about to change red and that’s it. If you’re in the intersection when it’s red then you ran a red light. If you managed to drive through it in time- you didn’t.

[@rottenpizza84]

Indeed you are 100% correct. During the last camara reign of terror of the 2000’s even taking the yellow light triggered a citation. It happened to me in DTLA , fought in court and annoying as fuck
