Lately I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about red-light cameras. Most people seem to feel that they are, at best, unecessary and, at worst, an utter waste of taxpayers money. The more I think about it the more I have to agree. Why should “Big Brother” be monitoring whether or not we run a red light? Where is it written that motorist aren’t allowed to run a red light anyway? I’m pretty sure it’s some sort sort of a constitutional right. After all, sometimes I’m in a hurry and if I have to sit and wait for the light to turn green again it might make me as much as five minutes late. Five minutes! I don’t have that kind of time to waste. That will mean there could be three or four more cars ahead of me in the Tim Horton’s drive-through. It’s not as if running a red light it dangerous or anything; the cars going the other way shouldn’t be jumping the green light without making sure it’s totally safe to proceed. If I get a ticket in the mail and have to pay a big fine, is that supposed to somehow make me think twice about breaking traffic laws? I’m driving, I can’t be distracted by thinking!
Aren’t there more important things to spend the taxpayers’ money on? I think I heard about some sort of Federal Inquiry or Hearing coming up; we have to pay for that somehow. I don’t want to have to pay extra taxes for something as frivolous as red-light cameras. And don’t even get me started on photo-radar. All I’ll say is, if the speed limit is 100 kph on the highway, why is my car capable of going 180 kph or more?
