Well, it is a blue state, and the scales are starting to slide, but yeah so far we have held up better than some.

Maglite also still makes those nice big C/D-cell self defense flashlights.

I blame Wesley. Picard knew better than to get involved with women with obnoxious kids.

Sadly, I'm in Pawtucket, where they run them every minute they are legally allowed.

Oh, I agree, the more notice the better, but that's the exact opposite intent of the camera system.

Yup. They would have an officer posted, and violations would be at their discretion.

Hopefully they just mean they're extremely surprised it took you this long to figure out the revenue enforcement part.

RI school zones, and thus the cameras, are allowed to be in effect all day. 7 AM to 6 PM.

Yeah, most people are already accelerating to escape the intersection, only to hit that 25MPH zone. Ugh.

And the flashing blues and reds from a stationed officer.

They all do. 7 AM to 6 PM. It's such a racket.

I'm not sure donations to family/friends (that one may be inclined to make regardless of incarceration) are meant to be within the scope of the article. It seems focused on the being encouraged to give to strangers angle.

DUI checkpoints are already a presumption of guilt by stopping you, despite us having rights to the contrary. I was just pointing out the irony that countries with less rights have no problem handling the situation more efficiently than we do.

>In Australia, the police can ask anyone who is driving, is about to drive or has recently driven a car to take a breath test, and it's a criminal offense to refuse.
And it takes them far less time to do so. The cops have handheld breathalyzers. How are you today, may I see your license, please breathe into the tube. None of this bullshit trying to talk you into providing subjective evidence against yourself with field sobriety tests and whatnot.

The bar for civil asset forfeiture should be "not fucking ever."
No criminal conviction = cops can go pound sand. The burden to prove where the money came from should always be on the state. Taking people's shit because it's suspected to come from drugs when the person has not been found guilty of any related crimes to connect the dots isn't enough.
