....We have also discussed certain laws that are essentially miscalculated, and that a prudent person would not always strictly abide. For instance, west Texas speed limits are fairly rational given the wide open terrain. Yet entering New Mexico, the speed limit goes down to a comical level for seemingly no reason; same wide open, see-for-miles land. He knows that going over that law is something I do but will definitely slow down if possible enforcement shows up.
Oh, there's a reason. Speed-cameras. In NYC, you knock down the limit to a ridiculous 25mph. on city streets. Have that limit enforced by cameras. But have them set to activate the moment a driver goes by at 35 mph. Assuming everyone will go over 25 mph., the Authorities "generously" give a bit of leeway. That way when they nail you doing 35mph. or a tad over, you have no defense if you want to fight the ticket in court.
Which, if you do; means taking a day off of work, so you lose a Day's Pay. And no judge is going to side with someone that was caught on-camera. So, you already know you're going to lose. But the Authorities make things easy on you. It's
only $50, they give you nearly a full month to pay the ticket, they give you several methods you can use to pay it, and they won't put points on your license after paying the ticket.
Those idiotic speed limits are nothing more than revenue generators for the greedy pigs who run the city.
Preston Niblack ~ Commissioner of the NYC Department of Fiance. Biggest
legalized Thief in all of NYC. And I bet you that if you ask him about it, he'll swear he has no clue what you mean. Funny how those limit reductions are quietly installed in Working-class neighborhoods, and usually high up on polls. So that drivers can't see them. Excuses made that it's to save lives. But those neighborhoods had no rash of deaths, and the limits used to be 35mph. So, if you didn't know, and always did the limit.... enjoy your massive bundle of tickets during that first week or so.
Forget using a gun and walking into a bank. The smart thieves get themselves appointed as Commissioner (not elected), and walk into their office.
