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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
