The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon.
QUESTION: Do you think Concord and neighboring cities should have red light cameras in an effort to stop people from going through red lights?
Talk about it….
I believe these are illegal, unless the laws have changed ” I may be wrong.. throw rocks” but I think you are only allowed to be issued a citation from a badged member of law enforcement. Please correct me here.
No ….. use that $$ for more LE going after home break-ins, store & car thieves, cleaning out homeless camps, etc. ….. that’s going after the “easy stuff” avoiding the real issues
No, government surveillance is another step towards an authoritarian
government attempting to exercise control over society through the
use of threat and manipulation. They lie and deceive us into giving
up our freedom. We all witnessed what freedoms were taken away
from us during the COVID pandemic and the hardships that fell upon
many people as a result. We mustn’t allow them to beguile us into
giving up our rights and the pursuit of happiness, life, and liberty.
Our local and state governments are not looking out for our best interest.
Their only interest is how to increase revenue.
As domo stated, I prefer efforts go toward crime. Perhaps any money slated for red light cameras could go toward programming lights to turn green, for example, when 1 car is sitting at an intersection for a minute or so with NO other traffic, waiting for that green.
YES! Get the high fines to the red light runners. Good deterrent, keeps people safe. Use them on street where people speed too.
Yes. If you run a red light, you can hit and kill someone. The lights that have a red light camera post a sign and also the fine, which is several hundred dollars. To most drivers, that’s a deterrent.
