Bring on the Cameras

The cameras are coming!
The cameras are coming!
The cameras are coming!
Finally.
I am glad they are coming.
I don't care how they are rationalized (revenue vs. safety).
I don't care what side of the town they are on either. There should be more.
I hate all you bastards that run lights.
And anybody who has a problem with it should not be driving. Paticularly the person who ran into me the summer of 2004. Stupid idiot. (The only accident I have ever been involved with in my 20+ years of driving.)
To all of you state legislators who are continuing to erode the cities home rule status - if you make it illegal for cities to have them I will do everything possible to make sure you never get elected again. Worry about state issues (funding education).
Here are some lovely pictures of the cameras by my house.

It's about time! I grew up in Cleveland Heights, and would take Chester every time I went downtown instead of the freeway. When the light would turn green, I'd still sit and wait, and 9 out of 10 times, a dilapidated Cadillac or Buick would come screaming through the intersection with utter disregard for public safety.

My sister got smacked at one of those intersections as well...but she's crazy and chased the guy all the way to his house while holding her damaged door shut.

that area is not to far from where i was hit
2:45 on a saturday night at the corner of prospect and 30th
she didn't even try to slow down
my airbag and belt saved me
she went to the hospital unconscious... i consider her lucky
if she was conscious, there may have been worse results
