The Radio Association Defending Airwave Rights (RADAR), uncovered the money-grubbing strategy of Geico insurance corporation. It turns out that Geico lavishes law enforcement agencies with pricey laser speed guns, each worth thousands of dollars, stipulating only that they be used to write as many tickets as possible. As a kickback, the insurance company gets to raise its premiums on the speeders and wallow in additional profit. Geico and other insurance giants who prey on unsuspecting motorists would likely argue that the additional premiums are necessary to compensate them for the increased accident risk of speeding. However, they have yet to provide any concrete proof whatsoever that there is a correlation between an increase in speed and an increase in traffic accidents, injuries, or deaths.
Signed into law by Gov. Charlie Crist earlier this week, the legislation makes Florida eligible for up to $35 million in federal grant money created in 2005 as an incentive for states to establish seat belt laws. While Florida's fine for the nonmoving seat belt violation will be a mere $30, studies show that drivers are 13% more likely to fasten their belts if they can be pulled over for it. While the millions in federal money and ticket revenue are both incentives to the state, that's not the primary motivation behind it. "This bill will save lives," the governor said. "That's what is important."
Ok, so let me get this straight.
A policeman is hanging out in a church parking lot, no one asks him to leave.
He randomly strolls up to a guy sitting in a car who has been there longer than he has.
The officer out of the blue asks to see the fellas proof of insurance.
(Already this story is so thin, you can see thru it).
What do you know, what are the chances, this guys got no insurance, the cops one for one....he should pay the lottery.
The pastor walks out, confronts the officer, a conflageration ensues.
The policeman states the pastor pushed him.
Witnesses state the pastor did not push him.
The pastor flees into the church to "get witnesses" (so who the hell are the witnesses who state the pastor didn't push the cop???)
The pastor emerges with 30 to 40 folks in tow.
The police once again out of the blue with no warning pepper spray everyone and tase the pastor for no reason.
(and now back to our regularly scheduled reality)

If cities have no jurisdiction on private property, how do they enforce law like no RV's or commercial vehicle ordinances, mowing regulations, building regulations.
Another example...in the city of Springfield, MO it is illegal to have an unregistered vehicle in your driveway unless it is covered.

ahh in nc...with college students....if the police go to a party where people are drinking....they will ask people to step outside...once the drunk has stepped outside of their condo ....apartment etc...they arrest you for public drunkness...nice..and you wonder why they are called pigs
You're right..we don't have it.. So, let's just assume it's all the fault of the cop, right?
Like I said. You're one of "those" people.
Like I said earlier, there are two ways this is usually approached.
1) The PEOPLE are given benefit of the doubt, within a shadow of such, as they say.
2) The COPS are given the benefit to the point of using weapons against the PEOPLE.
You're on the wrong side. Cops have no rights, as such. THE PEOPLE have the rights. Cops are servants.
and 99% of the tiem they act like that----get over it.
Obama is proposing a new law. He wants stats kept by Police Forces to show they taser white people as often as coloured people.

Prey on unsuspecting motorists?!
Don't fucking speed, you god damned moron!
You speed, you break the law. You break the law, chances are you'll get caught. You get caught, you pay the fucking ticket, and don't blame someone else for your own stupidity, eh?
If I'm smoking on my porch, too bad for you. If the cop comes in to my HOUSE, we have a problem - illegal entry for one.
If you've been convicted of anything that I can see for myself, I ain't hiring you for shit. Especially when there's people with ZERO convictions and a better track record than you applying.

Most college kids are under 21.. I don't know what the drinking law is where you are, but here it's 21. Again.. If you're going to have a problem with the fines if you get caught breaking the law, then simply don't break it. While we're at it, I'd slap the adults who bought the booze and/or served it for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
How hard is it, really?
I'm not saying every law is right.. But the fact is, they're laws, and they're there. *Breaking* them isn't going to make them go away, and people need to step up and stop blaming everyone else for what goes wrong with them. People need to take responsibility for their own actions.
When we start doing THAT, then MAYBE we'll be allowed a few more freedoms.

All the same there are other valid reasons for keeping speed limits low.
One being reduction of carbon emissions.
so, i take it you oppse cap & trade?Interesting stuff.Check it out. GEICO provides Speed Guns to law enforcement. Those good people are so conserned about our safety! I think I'll switch my policy!

So when do we slow down the space shuttle, jumbo jets, NASCAR, the drag strip?
Ther are other factors but NONE of those factors get a law passed like the promise of revenue. Often when a law regarding safety and environmental concerns is offered, the first arguments are about what it would cost to enforce. But attach a cost / fine ratio analysis and the enforcement people will jump on board like drunken sailors. The prime example is the millions offered by the feds for states to make seat belt laws. All these years none of them gave a damn about seat belts. Offer them some money and suddenly they are dreadfully concerned about your health. SOmeone else asked if I knew what it cost to scrape up a person that didn't have on a seat belt. I'd guess it cost about the same as cutting out a survivor that did wear a seat belt.
