Topic: Patriotism or Vandalism?

There are many arguments pro and con for these cameras, even many of the pros are legitimate, but as with all things "imposed by regulation" they are an infringement on personal freedom however meaningful or good intentioned the idea may be.

The cons definitely out weigh the pros.

Lets install a few in the backrooms of congress and see how long they are allowed!

Many states now are even offering rewards for downing drones, but I wouldn't be so foolish as to try and claim it if I did bring one down!

Whether such acts are vandalism or patriotic..... I'm afraid a court wouldn't see it as patriotic no matter how the public views it.

So my opinion would be "neither", but I do view them as unconstitutional, revenue generating, and an infringement on personal liberty.

When it violates our constitutional rights, it's not condemning them, it's standing up against them!

When speeding somehow becomes an act defying our constitutional liberties your argument might have merit!

FLorida judge,,


says it all

if its your car, you should be driving it or prove you weren't,,

otherwise, how would they catch hit and runs or drunk drivers?

if its your car its your responsibility,, or should be

but florida is another country in how it interprets justice,,,so Im not surprised that A judge (one person) saw it differently

So you are prejudice against FL as well?

Like Obozo, you seem to pick and choose what laws you wish to see enforced, don't care about the removal of rights that don't affect you, or who the victims will be.

So they have the right to break the law to catch you breaking the law if it profits them.... that's a double standard!

no proof they are breaking a law by monitoring the speed of traffic on GOVERNMENT FUNDED roads,,,

do you realize TWICE AS MANY people die in vehicle accidents than in homicides,,,, ALL HOMICIDES< ALL RACES< IM TALKING


why gripe about attempts to see that those dangerous LUXURIES we call vehicles are being operated in as safe a manner as possible?

yep, Florida has shown of late its skewed 'justice'

casey Anthony
Zimmerman
stand your ground

,,,,,I have very sound reason to suspect the sense of justice in that state


but besides the point,, I drive EVERYDAY, I stop at stoplights and I drive the speed limit

my choice, my consequence

it doesn't affect me any differently than any other driver
