They speed everywhere else irregardless of how dangerous it is for anyone.

Reply to comment by Mystic_Walker in This is my first year owning a car how do car taxes work? Do they just mail you a form once a year? And how much is it typically? by _camnoble_
Boats should absolutely be taxed like cars. Shoreline towns would make big bucks for sure.

How will the cameras handle off duty cops that are speeding? I assume police vehicles are exempt at all times, but what about an officers personal vehicle? No way police will allow themselves and their families to be ticketed.

Absolutely. Landscape companies will be looking for tons of help soon. Do good work, and you can make some decent money. If you go this route, drink tons of water. Dehydration is no joke.

If the penalty is only a fine, the law only applies to the poor.

I saw a lone turkey hen in my field yesterday. First and only one this year. Last several years, I've noticed there are a lot fewer turkeys around.

It will eventually end up in the general fund.

Most cops have a bigger arsenal than this. Why are they allowed to still buy banned weapons to keep at home?

These will be on every highway within a year. It's a massive revenue generator for the state.

Yes but it was almost 20 years ago. Same cop followed me home one night and pulled me over 50 feet from my house to scream at me because he thought my stock license plate light was "blinding him and other drivers". The lens was yellowed with age and covered in grime. That cop was a shit head who was frequently so drunk on duty that he couldn't get out of his car.

Reply to Connecticut Children's wants to spend $47 million on a parking garage in a city awash with parking by bomgd3
Hospitals are like every other business. All they care about is profits. They're not going to spend tens of millions millions on anything that won't make them money.
Parking garage will probably bring in huge money from parking fees.

We let people convicted of killing others while drunk driving own cars and alcohol.

How about erasing arrest records where the charges were immediately dropped. Lots of people out there who never did anything wrong, but got arrested anyway and had the court immediately drop the charges. That arrest record follows you for life and screws you if anyone does a deep background check.
Cops can arrest you, immediately release you, and you now have a permanent record haunting you.

Reply to Housing shortage and NIMBYs by briang71
So put the poor people in the middle of the woods next to a highway? How will they get anywhere without a car? Who's paying to run sewer, water, etc out there?
Makes much more sense to build affordable housing in areas with existing infrastructure and public transportation. Plenty of vacant commercial property and abandoned industrial sites that would fit the purpose as long as the site isn't contaminated.

Nothing like hearing a straight piped motorcycle coming home after the bars close. Do Harleys all die if you let off the gas? They always keep revving the engine even when stopped.

Almost all the tracks got shut down as people built homes next to them and then complained about the noise. Nowhere to take your car and have fun, nowhere to legally ride off road on an ATV. So they use the streets

Reply to MANDATORY HELMET LAW by stu8163
Automated fines are just a money grab. They fine the owner of the car, not the actual driver who broke the law.
Helmets should be required. We have to wear seat belts, and helmets on pedal bikes, why not helmets on motorcycles? Not wearing a helmet on a bike should result in your health insurance denying any claims from a crash. If you refuse to wear a basic safety device proven to reduce injuries, you can pay your own hospital bills.

Reply to Optimum: Dozens of fiber lines slashed in act of vandalism impacting Fairfield County customers by jaydecay123
It's scary how easy it is to cripple internet service and other communication. One wrong move with an excavator or shovel can cut off millions of people.
Whoever did this needs to be held accountable. This might be a dumb kid vandalizing stuff, or it may be something far worse.
