There's a video camera along with the still camera. Ask me how I know. :(

i figure you either work for the company that runs them, or you're a cop.

 my friend said he did go online and watch the video of himself doing it. to me his excuse was that he had his giant-scale zeke in the back of the truck, and he wasn't gonna slam on the brakes.

 the thing with these cameras is(to the best of my knowledge) that there is an imaginary box. enter it when the light's red, and you're on candid camera. i don't know how they deal with the right turn on red thing, to avoid ticketing people doing that.
 there is also the yellow(
amber) portion of the sequence. i think in nj, by law it has to be yellow for a min. of 3 seconds up to 35mph, and they add 1/10 of a second for every 10mph above 35mph.
 there's already been 2(i think) cameras beaten in court, because the timing of the yellow was either too short, or the person was able o prove that the timing has been changed.
 thanks to those two fights, the tickets(from what i've heard) come out to you in the mail now at a point when it is too late to try to fight them.

 while i don't run red lights, and do agree it is fully wrong, i do not believe in these cameras. they are a revenue generator, and nothing else. read any news article about them, and the first thing the township will brag about is how much they've collected.
 if interested in safety, then enforce it manually.

 i've seen accidents caused by them, because people stopped at a yellow, when the point they were at they could(and should) have continued right through, and they got nailed by the schmuck that wasn't paying attention.

 i understand where they're coming from, but all in all, they are only good for making money for the company that runs them, and the townships that they're located in.

A few miss conceptions here, please use 2 terms,use the word mute as being locked from talking in 1 arena for a short period of time.

Use blocked as not being locked from talking for 1 week (maby 2 I don't remember the settings).

Only HTC and the .report command can block some one.

The .report command is automatic, if enough people report someone we don't need to be involved. And the person is blocked automatically and immediately. In a way everyone can be a moderator if they use the .report command.

We will NOT tell who mods are, no one would wish to be a mod, mods are mods for free, they just players like everyone else. They are there simply to handle the stuff they see, and not sit there monitoring every conversation.

_______

Most times (I had the exact thing happen today when I was moding) players think they were the only one moderated, when in actuality all were warned.

________

If you feel you were blocked unfairly or muted unfairly email us, we can check the logs.

_______

Worry about yourself, not the other guy. Or when you get a ticket does the cop respond well to you telling him "But other people speed also".

no one slows down when a cop has someone pulled over.....at least not on the highway. they know he's busy, and buzz along on their marry way.

You beat me to it  :aok

Cop told me "can't catch all the fish in the pond"

I've also heard, "Yes, they were ALL speeding.  YOU are the one who is having a bad day"

you been to jersey lately? like on 295 going through belmawr, lawnside, cherry hill? where there is perpetual construction? when you go under rt 168, and rt 561.....state troopers have a spot cut out in the fencing. they stand there sometimes with a laser. they have somewhere around a half dozen cars downstream from where they're shooting people.....and they're racking up the fines.
 they know they got ya too, as all fines in nj are double in a construction zone.

 oh yea....and people are STILL buzzing through there at 60mph to 75mph

About right.....  1 full second for every 10mph the speed limit is.  So the Amber stays amber for 4 seconds at 40mph, and should be 3.5 for 35mph. 


 i think in nj, by law it has to be yellow for a min. of 3 seconds up to 35mph, and they add 1/10 of a second for every 10mph above 35mph.

The more accurate analogy would actually be, "But the guy I was following was going faster"

Just saying. :D

My Wrangler is now off by ~5 mph due to the 33" tires.   @ 55, I'm actually doing 60. 

Haven't had a chance to fix it.

JUGgler,

Base on this, I would say you got mass muted my friend.  If the other guy kept going with the same rhetorical brewhaha, you probably got the shaftola.
