Speed Camera Pimping Game

[fossten]

What rights are in the constitution stating that you can drive like a idiot anyway?

Please explain to me how you equate driving faster than the posted speed limit with "driving like an idiot."

While it is true that driving is a privilege, the Constitution was founded under the principle that all citizens have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As long as I'm not driving recklessly, I view speed traps as a government scam. I will combat it accordingly.

Feel free to deal with speeding tickets any way you please. You're entitled to your opinion, and I wasn't referring to you personally as a sheep. Present company excluded and all that, okay? But no more am I an idiot because I like to drive my Mark at 85 mph on a straightaway interstate on a clear day in low traffic.

As to the victims of this “game,” one presumes “This isn’t the car to which these plates are assigned” would be an effective defense

I read a news report on this on another site, and one of the things the teens do is borrow a car of similar make, model, and color.

Years ago, I read accounts of things the good citizens of Kahleefohnia did to "redecorate" the photo radar units. The two I remember were the liberal applications of cow pies and buckshot...

Freedom

Speed cameras seem uncommonly like bullseyes to me.

On a serious note, driving is only a privilege if you make it so. The definition of 'liberty' is the 'ability to come and go as you please'. That doesn't include trespassing on another's property, but roads are owned by 'We, The People, and public ownership gives citizens the right of use.

Driving only becomes a privilege if you don't conduct yourself properly. A driver's license is, in actuality, a contract between yourself and the state, in which you give up some rights and descend into privilege. you also acknowledge that your car is the property of the state when you install a license plate. You can signify that the car is freehold personalty by refusing to display the plate and informing the state that you refuse to enter into any contract of any kind with them.

In any urban area there are so many interlocking jurisdictions that attempting to conduct yourself as above will result in constant harassment. There are actually places in the US where people do act this way. Parts of Arizona are like this, and the area around Boise, Idaho likewise. The people call themselves 'Freemen'.
