Traffic cams are great, they could potentially save every city money by catching drivers with a photo rather than a cop who has to spend time and gas money watching people. |
The thing is, I don't think this is isolated, or uncommon. Hell, in some of Toledos suburbs, they time the traffic lights so that you cannot possibly avoid stopping at each light without speeding. That's basically a primitive form of mental torture. ( Assuming you know what it's like to commute. )
Also, like the other examples, they have all the new technology that would allow them to manipulate these timed intervals on the fly. ( The sensors were installed to allow ambulances to alter the traffic signals at critical intersections. )
I suspect now that the Police have hacked the codes, and manipulate the timing of traffic signals to justify traffic stops.
It's the emerging Police State.
