    Although I’m not sympathetic to the SovCits, I’d still let them park there. Fuck the police!

      Right. There should be no enforcement of traffic laws. Everyone for themselves out there, guys.

        A lot of traffic enforcement is revenue generation. It really is road piracy for the sake of getting money, and not for keeping people safe. If you want people to slow down, install more speed bumps. Put speed cameras in your school zones, on your main thoroughfares, and leave them there forever. Build better public transportation and bicycle lanes so that people have less reason to drive, which will clearly increased traffic safety.

        Also, the biggest group of bad drivers, of illegal drivers, is the police themselves. You never see them ticket themselves, do you. Clearly they don’t believe the law is keeping people safe, or they would be following it.

        That’s not to say there shouldn’t be any traffic laws at all, but most traffic enforcement on the streets is not keeping people safe, and it’s not intended to keep people safe.

      As long as they’re comfortable with me watching/recording and not being involved anymore than giving explicit permission I’m fine with that. They’re gonna provide me with entertainment in trade. You know it’s gonna escalate and maybe I’ll get a viral video from it at the very least a funny video and story!
