Gary Franchi takes on Chicago Red Light Cameras

[LALOMAN18]

CORRUPT GOVERNMENT = 1%

AMERICAN PUBLIC = 99%

So why are we letting this mothafucking 1% bull shit NAZI bitch ass of a Government control us all? because the majority of Americans are pussies and can't or won't fight their fat lazy asses against the government!

The Government is pushing every single button of the public by creating bull shit laws that rob you out of your money, why? So the people will someday (very soon) had enough & start a civil war thus the Govn. introducing Marshal Law!

[19Truth53]

The POINT is that these 'Red Light Cameras' are going to set a PRECEDENT whereby their stated goals WILL BE EXTENDED to other areas having NOTHING to do with 'Checking Insurance,' but everything to do with spying on American citizens for ALL KINDS of reasons whether they're legitimate or not.

[k0smon]

The best comeback is to be overly cautious. No tickets, no revenue. They then won't be able to afford the 'rent' on these devices.

[kangalanatolian]

Driving should be a right because that is the way we travel today. If it however remains a privilege, which I suspect, then the state should simply require liability coverage like they do. The bus or something my friend unless it is a right. Enforcement of the law is a hazard of allowing them to be passed.

[nem1901]

hi, Gary. I saw your 3 powerful films and just loved it....I learned so much & got angry too. But Knowledge is Power...it just seems like We Will Lose against Our Nation, as a Nation, because the people of our Nation cannot come 2gether & Divided we Will Fall.

[RP4409]

driving is NOT a priviledge it's a right. This guy is a freaking moron

[nem1901]

no uneducated one, driving is very much so a priviledge - which is why the priviledge of driving can be, like, suspended or taken away. for things like driving while drinking.

[RP4409]

nem1901 you are the uneducated one. You may be right... driving is a priviledge but TRAVELING is a right. See the 50 cases in the federal and supreme court. You can't turn a right into a crime see Miranda vs. Arizona. The problem is asking for permission...I.E. (license)

[robitussin217]

We collectively pay for the roads. Logically, I would think it would be a right. And, IT IS! in the legal sense. But, welcome to your police state. If the government listened to the courts, then we wouldn't pay an income tax. Truth is, they have the guns and the power of incarceration. If you don't pay your illegally collected taxes, then you go to jail. (google Irwin Schiff) If they want to collect your earned money, they simply will. Get educated and then get pissed!

[toliveindiscontent]

By the way, it is always a very effective tool for debate to open with a slap in the fucking face insult, for example "uneducated one." This is a great technique, it almost guarantees quality debate because if proudly displays just how juvenile you just so happen to be! Keep up the insulting people you do not know, I am sure you will earn lots of respect.

[Drumvain]

@nem1901 o.k. like you are full of shi#. The right to travel and move about is not A privilige. It's just it sounded reasonable to tax & license large trucks. So laws were put on the books, thats how they got their foot in the door to regulate movement. A free man does not have to ask permission to move about freely. We are all suckers it we think we are free.

[brainphreak]

Insurance has always been optional, its always YOUR loss if you dont have it... if the other guy has full coverage and you get in a wreck, the problem is his insurance company doesnt want to hold up his part of the deal... and so BOTH people need to have insurance. thats not insurance all its a racket... Forcing you to pay, then when it comes down to it, they collect from the other guys insurance anyways? Wheres my damn refund then? Why did I need insurance? Its no longer the way it was intended

[hooverdog1957]

Gary Franchi is an American hero. Everyone of us need to stand up to tyranny in our country. The citizens should not fear the state it should be the other way around. When are the citizens of America going to finally draw a line in the sand and say enough is enough!

[BRUCELEEonLSD]

i like what you said ... but how do we draw the line?

[amwright81]

I'd be for the cameras on lights if there are also cameras on cop cars to keep the cops in line. What about also having cameras in every governmental bureaucratic chamber so that American people can see what their representatives are dong with our money?

[Mimmerz08]

that is a great idea

[EvilZeroSc]

That is a great idea, but what good would it do if the FBI would be there within minutes of an illegal act to confiscate all the videos and then release one with 3 frames and say look no illegal acts were committed....

[RobZiak]

@amwright81 awesome idea

[oryxx]

Good stuff Gary. Look at the contradiction of forced insurance. By forcing us to pay into something, someone looses. Yes, more people have insurance but who looses? Stick with the fundementals and your arguments will be stronger, than looking minor details like ticket prices.

[dutchie808]

Gary you arethe best!!!

I cannot get my licensed renwwed because of the parking tickets I got while working in Boston.

The DMV will not issue my renew until I pay. i have decided to drive without it.

Haven't been pulled over for more than 10 years, so wish me luck.

[faeryqueeny9]

Insurance SHOULD be optional...let the buyer beware

No ticky, no washy

[katydig]

Good job Gary!! You make perfect sense. I am strongly against the fees we have to pay for inconsequential and petty laws. It's a RACKET!!! I had to pay $260 for speeding and I was on a straight flat uncrowded highway - what was wrong with that?? Why do we pay taxes to have police & judges to take our money? Taxes to pay for roads is about the only thing that makes sense. We don't need the police, or maybe just a few.  And we damn sure don't need so many laws and judges.

[Roxiestarlite87]

Think for a minute- FORCING people with the Police to buy insurance is EXTORTION. If you DON'T buy our "protection-" then we will FORCE it out of you by using armed thugs known as the police.

Personal recognizance USED to be an option for Operator's Liability- and a damn viable one for those of us that know how to fucking DRIVE.

[Sickj66]

Traveling is a right. Driving isn't. There is a difference. As soon as we learn the difference, we won't need insurance. Then ol' Garrard "oh come on man is it really a tyranny". Where the f0ck has he been.

[RepresentativeEAB]

I am sick of the police state right now!!?? Every morning on my way to school, you see nothing but cops pulling over people. It's disgusting. War on Police State is in full effect.

[kuwiguy]

is this guy serious? looks like snl skit

[WeAreChangeSA]

awesome!

[NoGuyComesClose]

Dont bring up the War in Iraq?? Where do you think all his time was spent! Where do you think our money went! All you Republicans are all alike! If Bush slit the throats of babies in your neighborhood you would justify it! Why dont you and Hannity along with Rush Limbaugh have a Jerk-Off-Spin Free Zone with Oreilly! Bro you are Dumb "You know that Right" Remove your pic from the page as well! You scared my girlfriends Cat! Ha!Ha!Ha! Idiot Stick Clown!

[Diverdown41]

There are far too many uneducated people in America. Republic Magazine is not Republican, it is Libertarian leaning... Against the Bush Evil Empire, wasting money, against wasting lives, against laws banning individual liberties, against Corporate take overs of Seeds or Farming or drugs. For Individual Responsibilities and not the Nanny State.

[Sickj66]

No Republic magazine is about restoring the Republic. Not Democracy. Learn the difference.

[ChrisF116]

Its not about Republican and Democrat. 90% of people in both parties are the same. Do you think Obama is going to end the war in the Middle East anytime soon? There are good Republicans- Ron Paul, and good democrats- Dennis Kuccinich. But the main problem is two party dominance.

[eyeOOsee]

Thankyou, Gary for speaking up...Aaron Russo is smiling, I feel it. By the way, have you heard of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report??? Did you know that for about every 500bucks you pay for insurance, only 100 actually goes to your insurance company and the rest goes to the Federal Governnemt and is used for disasters like Katrina??? My ass it is. They pocket all of that extra and then offer disaster victims low interest loans!! What BS is that!! Check it out CAFR-it's a big secret!

[EvilZeroSc]

Nothing suprises me with this gotdamn gorvernment and elites anymore....you can dig for a 100years and still not find all the BS they feed you...

[turboredcart]

why would I even visit from out of state? an out of state plate may or may not denote insurance. hmm, didnt we just write ANOTHER check to AIG???

[Matey3]

These cameras or SCAMeras are owned by foreign companies one in Austria/EU.

They are not even freaking Americans.

ppl should take every ticket they get to court.

jam up the system , let them know it is a spit upward which is going to land on their damn faces)!

[mozarkerflyover]

We have our own police state here in Missouri. If you're not familiar with the report issued by the Missouri Intelligence Analysis Center, please Google it. It will scare the h*** out of any liberty loving individual who abhors political profiling.

Whether you like Glenn Beck or not, he will be introducing this subject on his show today, Thursday, March 19 and will be interviewing Tim Neal on his show tomorrow, March 20. I'm hoping that they won't be able to sweep this under the rug.

[deslocc124]

Travel is a God given right, it cannot be licensed, taxes, imposed upon by any creation of man. If you want them to give you rights, they will. But also expect them to take those rights back when you least expect them. People wake up, look around and resist the police state and march towards socialism..

[MartialArtist24]

To defeat the corruption, I just have one thing to say... WE THE PEOPLE!

[immafreemann]

Freedom to move about is a common law RIGHT under the Magna Carta not a privledge. If you hit someone else you have a responsibility for that loss by your fellow citizen but until you do you have no responsibility. To demand insurance and a drivers license is like taxing and imprisioning congressmen for breaking the law because they WILL in the future. The seat belt law is another-the Fed gov. has no right to punish you because you MAY get into an accident and not be medically solvent.

[ronheri]

Just wait till Obama gets his carbon tax scam through. They will tax every possible human activity, under the guise of the phoney "global warming". The New World Order is bringing America down.

[4Freedomrider]

Corporations need to be dethroned!

A corporation gives a person or persons, the owners the means to injure another fellow man or woman and have limited liability for that injury. These fictions that are now mostly owned by the Banksters control and enslave us all. There should be a limit on what they can do. There has to be a demonstrated value to mankind. Thomas Jefferson's quote about the corporations that grow up around the private central banks has come true!!!!!

We are all Debtor/Serfs now.

[Ostout2]

I have an Issue about insurance,

We pay insurance to... Insure everyone else from ourselves? the minimum insurance is "liability", if we all know the risks of driving, why should they have to "FORCE" us to carry insurance! what happened to Independence in this nation? why cant it be, my insurance covers... me, and your insurance covers... you! like a baby depends on its mother, we have to depend on the government to force us to have insurance!

all in the name of money, lobbyists win again!

[kwazi6]

It's hard to take this stuff seriously with Jar-Jar-Binks hosting the show.

[Liberty4Ever]

Citizens are demanding that red light cameras be removed. I'm not surprised that the People's Republic of Chicago is ramping up the effort to spy on their citizens and control them.

When King Daley used the arbitrary power of his office to close the downtown airport, Meigs Field, in violation of federal contracts and federal law and most importantly, in violation of common sense and common decency, I swore I'd never spend one penny in Cook County. Chicago is no longer part of America.

[NoGuyComesClose]

Excellent! Gary! Now, lets move you up into mainstream.... Work on Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck! Keep the Republic rolling!! Go! Go! Go!

[charlesrosaly]

It looks like Glen Beck has woken up.

[gingermax]

My new job will be as a camera assassin, if you get a ticket, pay me instead. I have a 20 gauge shotgun that will take out any camera. If they can violate our 4th amendment rights, than we can use the 2nd amendment to rectify it. I believe I can take out at least 10cameras a night. As far as insurance, get in a wreck, and try to get paid. They will screw you every time. I just found out my insurance company 21st Century is owned by AIG. They are in the derivative hole for $100 trillion.

[kwazi6]

I'm totally up for vigilante justice! Just don't get caught! Plan your hits very, very carefully. You will be made an example of if you get caught.

[charlesrosaly]

I am with you 100% !

Everyone take out those cams!!!!!!

Any calibur will do!!!

[Drsnafubar]

cont--for any actions taken by the strawman. We all operate under the Uniform Commercial Code as does every other business in these UNITED STATES. Even the court system, which operates under admiralty law--hence the gold fringe around the flag, is a business under the UCC and their objective is to take as much of your money as possible by having you break as many statutes and codes as possible. We all need to separate ourselves from this evil enslavement system and claim back our sovereignty.

[bc98usa]

Red Light cameras have been declared UNCONSTITUTIONAL in Iowa and Michigan.

[Drsnafubar]

Cont.---your strawman is a government created fictitious identity utilizing your name in all capital letters. Look on your driver license, bank cards and loans, credit cards, professional licenses etc. We are considered little corporations under the corporation called the UNITED STATES which is owned by the Crown of England. The government makes you believe that your capitalized name is you, the sovereign individual living on the land called North America, and holds you responsible--continued

[Drsnafubar]

It's simple--they are destroying our right to privacy so we need to destroy all their little toys responsible for privacy violations. Use whatever you have whether it is a slingshot or a shotgun. So get off your ass and fight back. One other thing to suggest is refuse to pay any tickets you recieve as they are attached to your strawman. Continued in next post.

[SteveXnycperformance]

Man is a danger to it self, so who are the Tax payer protect thought some third party?. The banks are moving the environment to a HOLLYWOOD set. Everything will be control (communist) from gangster to the un-born. CCTV is the bankers Greatest profiting Entertainment. TAXing the people who break THEY laws (Hollywood script). Beware: ALL CCTV (possible DTV) will be circuit into a central observe institute. it will employee 1000s of individual to spy on others. the cat & mouse= economic growth? NO!

[ah0792]

If you do not like the camera's, then have them taken down! Just vote the people out that put them up an replace them with people that will take them down!

[zeebopskibop]

You r the man Gary!!!  Great work once again!!

[HEYBUDD]

Gary, No offence dude, but stick to writing. Your oral presentation is not that compelling.

[SugarMonkey528]

So let me get this straight. You don't have to be a legal citizen of the United States (if there even is such a thing), but we have to have insurance?

How about we enforce the immigration laws and then worry about the insurance laws. Now there's a good idea.

[pott747]

Get off your ass Americans and end this crap. Free country my ass.

[irishjettergreen]

Gary is 110% correct. Pleople that do not believe this had better learn to read history. Fascist always start out with, well whats wrong with this, then, whats wrong with that and in no time your rounded up and placed in concentration camps to be exterminated. Whats wrong with that?? Quit being a fool, there are no Democrats and there are no Republicans here. Be an American first and formost, read your Constitution,Bill of Rights and vote out any politician that doesn't follow them to the letter

[vdubs4life1964]

yeah sure... its all about having insurance.....

hahahahah

[Evangelinelw4]

BRAVO Gary! Bravo...Keep waking up the Sheeple!

[laurie1684]

"the fact is this: you cannot register a vehicle ... without having proof of insurance"

Exactly. (in Texas, also.)

[bhibatsu]

"Welcome! to slavery"

[tarkaygivon]

Waaaake Up AmeeeeeriKa! Take off your rose colored glasses!

"...first (they came) for the Communists, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist;

And then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist;

And then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew;

And then . . . they came for me . . . and by that time there was no one left to speak up."

Martin Niemoller

[mittenola]

Yes the right to travel!!!!!

[anutarasamyat]

It used to be voluntary to have insurance. What happened?

[cypheir]

Most states now require you, by law, to have at least liability insurance on your vehicle.

Too many uninsured motorists was becoming a problem, so now its required.

Now they wanna check you everywhere you go... sigh.

[halzo]

FRANCHI 2012!!!

[ngonea]

Just revenue collectors and law enforcement officiers instead of peace officers, they are stopping ppl and stalking ppl on the roads today, so they can bring a charge against you and the corrupt judge on the bench ( bank) will collect currency for the "crown"

[glendalebrigade]

Freedom to travel and move about it our right. It is not a privilege. But get used to it there will be a lot more.

[jacknapier26]

the fact is this: you cannot register a vehicle in states like california or new york without having proof of insurance. if you drive without insurance, that means you're driving an unregistered vehicle

so, i think that's just an excuse for more police state tactics... those who are going to break that law are still going to break that law. it's like gun control - the criminals still have guns. it's like the war on drugs - the criminals still move drugs.

[jacknapier26]

is this guy serious? traveling is a privilege?!

[DirtyMoneySyndicate]

fuck cameras

[freedommv1]

Great job Gary. keep up the fight.

[airborne373]

The ability to travel is a RIGHT not a privilege.

[lonelantern]

100% agree - the ability to travel is a right.

[DoorOfPerceptions]

Nice!
