The constitutional validity of this argument is being challenged all the time.

Hey, does that also mean you get the points on your record against your license? If that's the case, your insurance rates go up as well.

We have 'em in Texas but the Legislature is looking to ban them by '09.
Here we put salt on Margaritas, not sidewalks.

It's my understanding that the owner doesn't get dinged with the points... at least that's how it is around here.  A friend of mine just got a Red-light ticket and she didn't get hit with the points.

No points in Texas, just a $75 fine.

My advice would be to phone the officer back and confess to your deep, dark, cross-dressing obsession.

:cool:

That’s BS, they want you to do their job.

You implied the officer is female with: “She says you have to…”.

Send her her own name and address.
If the cop is a man, send him his wife’s name and address.

They tried using speed cameras here in Texas in a couple podunk towns that wanted easy speedtrap cash. Thanks to a local ex-DA who labeled it the "NaziCam" and is tight with a State Represenative we have a bill working thru the ledge right now that will outlaw them completely. As of last week the TXDOT ordered them to be removed from any Federal or State funded highway. They are a safety hazard.

Below is a link to the story. Of particular interest is this tidbit:

There (Rhome) the tickets start at $179, with Nestor receiving about $25 for each one issued.
Nestor is the camera manufacurer.

Another tidbit to chew on, the Republican Mayor fired the Chief of Police because he was spending too much time in schools and on neighborhood patrol and not writing speeding tickets tickets.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
