LOL, Do you really believe that? Not very long ago the rental cars were doing just that.

You should never trust government nor hand over your rights, period.

As am example of what your tax man said,..... in Colorado they started taxing "views" at least in certain area's. Well there was one paarticular plot of land in the center of a valley, quite large and rural. The owner lived in the center of his property. He just happened to have a tremendous view of all the mountains about him. The view tax was exceptionally high. He lived in a cabin, was disabled and.....get this.......
Blind!

No excuse according to the revenuers, he HAD to pay anyhow.

I do not know the outcome of the subsequent lawsuit.

The State gives us the privilege for driving on roads that we own, paid for, and paid for the maintenance of the roads. (Although they often steal the tax monies for maintenance to pay for other things.)

Red light cameras are wrong, just like remote traffic camera's for speeding are wrong. They are easily manipulated to give false information and when city funds are low they shorten the yellow lights which creates more "red light runs" They are installed and paid for by private companies granted the rights to "share the wealth" it is not a flat fee service by the providers.

Let me ask you, did people pay in the old days for the right to drive on or off road? Did they pay based on whether it was a two seater carriage or four? Did they pay for Conestoga wagons? Hay wagons? Heck NO

As to paying extra taxes based on luxury or speedy type vehicles, we already do, its called the gas guzzler tax. We often pay surcharges on gasoline that are supposed to be lifted once the situation is over, but seldom is.

Dude, we are all sitting in a pot of water that is about to be boiled, like in the proverbial frog story. Don't be so placant. (sp)

You only got it partially right. They brain washed you into buying your own device that tracks you, records your voice and will send video back on demand. It is called your cell phone.

If you were reading the previous posts you would see where a traffic/accident investigator downloads the info on the spot. Where is the court order? It is a blanket one.

It could/can/will be used for other reasons like to put away a mafia type person if they can't get him on anything else. or your political enemy. Don't for a minute think they wouldn't use it for a vendetta against someone, and claim, "Hey, its the law!"

When a cop wants to bust you or harrase you just cause your some snot nosed kid or a gangbanger they just look for something small on your car to pull you over, like a license plate light missing, bulb burnt out, car too noisey, sits too high, tires stick too far out the sides of your vehicle, whatever. Sometimes they do this to pick up what they think is a babe, till they pull her over and realize she's a hot looking granny.

And yes I do support cops.

Yes, and it is that button on your radio that you've been told does not work.

What about when it is four to six, all with enough antennae's to make it look like porcupines, running boards big enough to carry a crew, no-flat tires, and windows tinted so dark that you have to have infra-red googles to see inside?

Hard to tell whether it be friend or foe.

In China, they are equipped with Bluetooth, have microphones, and transmit data to police. It is not a far stretch from red light cameras to black box tickets. Don't worry, no court or points on your license -- Just a fee.


I would like to remove mine.
