I’m pretty damn glad they didn’t have red light cameras back when I was living in the suburbs because I would have been dead meat. Of course, I freely admit that and actually love red light cameras since they have a traffic calming effect from what I have noticed.
Senator Duffy though, has a different view of the issue.
* As we discussed yesterday, one of the leading proponents of banning red-light cameras was called out yesterday for not telling the truth about his own red-light ticket. Senate President John Cullerton showed video of Sen. Dan Duffy clearly running a red light. Duffy responded…
“That was an interesting play there. Obviously the president of the Senate and the red-light camera companies are doing everything they can to intimidate me,” said Duffy, who said he won’t stop trying to abolish red-light cameras, even though a Senate panel rejected the idea Monday.
That’s right folks, Big Red Light Camera is out to get him.
It’s not a conspiracy, it’s being better at politics than you are doofus. There’s a thing called FOIA and if you are going to make a big stink, people are going to use it.
How’s that parking space Senator?
Why couldn’t he just have said, “Yes, I got caught by one of those useless f*****g things, and they messed with the wrong guy”?
LOL–being persecuted is much more fun. But yeah, I would have at least laughed at that.
