This Blog will discuss politics, government, corruption, police, S.I.U., courts, education, min. of attorney general, min. of labour, v.o.i.c.e. and other current and past events of interest to concerned citizens. In the "About me" section to the right and down I have included the names of persons whom I have tremendous respect for. Their influence on me however has been primarily environmental (and personal) and this is therefore a disclaimer that all words posted on this Blog/Website are mine and I alone am responsible for them. I say this with the greatest respect and affection to my friends.

FATCOD : THE FALLACY OF RED LIGHT CAMERAS



FATCOD is an acronym. It means: "For Advanced Thievery above and beyond the Call Of Duty. FATCOD is applied to primarily governments although there are many other non governmental legal methods of stealing from citizens out there. Today's FATCOD is all about our red light cameras here in Waterloo Region. Serious studies have been done and the results are published in the Saturday January 11, 2014 Waterloo Region Record. The numbers are in and our politiicains are quite simply lying bastards. The title of the story is "Camera ahead-hit the brakes or hit the gas?".

The title alone conveys the poor decision making of drivers facing red light cameras. For the sake of possibly getting hit with a cheap ticket; drivers are putting themselves and other drivers at risk of totally unnecessary injuries. The results of these accident studies make it very clear that our regional politicians are cheerfully increasing our health risks simply so they can grab more of our cash. Total numbers of accidents have increased at intersections with red light cameras installed. The majority of the increase are rear-end collisions although there is also a significant increase in collisions as drivers rush to make their left turn in front of oncoming traffic; before the light turns red. These statistics are I believe prima facie evidence of why most politicians are unrepentant scumbags.
