@ArizonaSean That would have been a spectacular showcase of my demise, wouldn't it? But then, who would have edited the video?

[TheJackRayner]

I love the intro to this episode, its just so concise

[TheMarkNessMonster]

@TheJackRayner Hang in there, Jack. Hopefully we'll see more eps in the future!

This is a sound bite! This is entertainment! This is sensationalism!

yh i agree, we are treated like criminals before we even do anything out on the roads, something should be done. The people that get caught are the people that dont cause accidents and arnt the boy racers

[TheMarkNessMonster]

@nelly389 Well, see, here's the problem: Nobody involved on the Notice of Extortion side is actually "caught" because there's no witness. A camera does not create a testifying witness in a court of law, and photographic evidence can never be used to convict, except in the case of murder. Any other time it's considered circumstantial evidence at best. When you go to a kangaroo court with one of these, you sit at a conference table and are shoved the picture in your face...real gestapo like.

@TheMarkNessMonster , i never knew that. I think they have some sort of purpose but i do think they are very biased, they can never take into account the situation at which they take the picture after all they are just machine not a human. thanks for replying

Anything to play the part. Constabulary has to keep acting busy to get paid. The people of whom they harass, design, build, develop, assemble, service, diagnose, repair, mend, feed, and produce. What do the enforcers do? Act busy.

[TheJackRayner]

YES MARK! Cant wait to see the next few episodes!

[TheMarkNessMonster]

@TheJackRayner Thanks! Glad SOMEBODY saw this and commented on it!
