72 in a 65, com'n
Anyways, looks like the popo are about to get their asses handed to them!
DVR is set.
I'm watching that show on Thursday! I saw some Kustom Golden Eagle action in the trailer as well. That's one nasty radar unit ;)
Hilarious. I guess HPD has lowered their tolerance level for speeders. Gotta generate revenue somehow :pQuote:
I locked you at 72 in a 65. What's the rush?!?
Yea, the city government isn't making enough off of us tax payers that pay $[insert your rediculous # here] K every year in property taxes. Thanks Bill White!Quote:

Yea, it was so nice to see them educating the public. Tomorrow should be interesting.
Also interesting is the amount of news articles hitting the net this month concerning automated enforcement practices. If you do a google news search for 'speed cameras' or 'red light cameras' and bound the search to the last 30 days it is amaizing how may cities have the issue up on the Nov 2 ballot.
Way to go people, seems that libertarianism is still alive in our country.
:( I missed it. Did anyone record it?
I have it, but I have no clue how to rip it from the DVR. Guess I could video it eh?
Is this it?Quote:

I think you could you transfer the DVR video to your computer and then upload the video to Youtube?Quote:

Uverse video is encripted, will have to video it and post a little bit later; then you will really laugh at that quote when you see it. Kind of like lying under oath if you ask me.
It also kinda reminds me of all those cities that claim cameras are all about driver safety, but when they get owned by the voters or the courts and they have to stop using the cameras they insist that "all fines issued before that date are valid and must be paid!!!"..."but its not about the money...really"...YOU LIE!!!...hmmm now where have I heard that before....oh yea...:-)
It's all about the revenue. I find it both sad and hilarious at the same time when PDs and other agencies try to convince citizens that their traffic enforcement programs are only about public safety not revenue/quotas. They get very creative with their excuses :rolleyes: Yea, we have a constable or sheriff stationed at that location every day because there is a "high volume of accidents at that location" not because the speed limit all of a sudden drops from 55 to 35...
I just watched the video again and I swear that Deputy J West was smiling while he turned his head after he answered the question about his department not having tuning forks (2:33 in the video). LOL and these are the guys that are in charge of keeping our roads safe...
Oh yea, they posted the video now. Saved me some work. Nice...
Put the video on vimeo. Youtube will delete it due to copyright infringement
Btw, wtf is up with the tags on this thread?
Obviously someone with an odd sense of humor. IDK
:eek: Holy sh*t I just realized those...Quote:

:D Hehe, good ole Phil Camus. I've went against his Pct. 5 Constables many times. No threat intended but the deputy lady with the Ultralyte is going to get run over some day if she keeps stepping out into the middle of the road to pull speeders over...
As far as I'm concerned, reporter Wayne Dolcefino is a freaking hero for doing this whole report. It's a real shame that a news reporter though had to do all the whistle blowing to make everything right. Just goes to show that there's corruption in Houston area traffic enforcement and that the chief deputies/police chiefs don't really care as long as the revenue is flowing in :mad:
LOL, that was awesome the HPD look like total clowns.
Wow, this is a very good thread.I'm glad I came across this one.LOL are they going to air more videos? If they do please post them.
Sunday @ 10
Anybody know where i can watch the second show from friday night?
Nevermind i found it...
Just got in from out of town. DVR was set so I can harvest all the storys & put them together. It will be crude with a Cam corder off the screen but that is the best I know how to do.
The link to the series is already in this thread. It will be updated later tonight with part 3.Quote:

How they can claim to be doing it all in the name of safety while spending so much time in one location vs. spreading it out is proof that nobody really cares. People need to wake up and protest this crap. Depressing.
