Florida City Caught Issuing 1645 Camera Tickets On Shortened Yellow

Posted on by

“In St. Petersburg, Florida, the yellow time at intersections was shortened by fractions of a second for thousands of drivers, enabling the red light camera program to generate an extra $259,910 in revenue in 13 months. The data show at seven city intersections, the yellow time dropped between 0.1 and 1.1 seconds for some tickets from the date the cameras started ticketing.   St. Petersburg depends heavily on split-second timing misjudgment. The city generated 45 percent of its revenue — $2,128,576 — from tickets generated in a half-second or less after the light turns red. In the first three-tenths of a second, 31 percent of the city’s tickets were issued.”

Will Grigg: Put Not Your Trust In Federalized Sheriffs

Posted on by

“‘I will not enforce an unconstitutional law against any citizen of Smith County,’ insisted Sheriff Larry Smith. The sheriff wants his constituents to believe that he would refuse to participate in a federally mandated gun grab, or permit one to be carried out by federal officials within his jurisdiction. Yet ten days before Smith offered that assurance, his office had taken part in an early-morning SWAT rampage throughout East Texas in which 73 warrants were served as part of the federal government’s patently unconstitutional war on drugs.  There isn’t a single county sheriff’s office in the country that hasn’t compromised itself by accepting federal funds.”

Missouri Republican Wants To Make It A Felony For His Fellow Lawmakers To Propose Gun Laws

Posted on by

“Missouri state Rep. Mike Leara (R) loves the Second Amendment so much he wants to make it a felony for state lawmakers to propose legislation he thinks would violate it. On Sunday, Leara offered up this addition to Missouri law:  ‘Any member of the general assembly who proposes a piece of legislation that further restricts the right of an individual to bear arms, as set forth under the second amendment of the Constitution of the United States, shall be guilty of a class D felony,’ Leara’s bill reads in its entirety.”

Private Detectives Filling Gaps Left by Police Budget Cuts

Posted on by

EPJ13

“Detectives like Glemser across cash-strapped states have been getting more calls like these as cities and towns cut their police forces to contend with deep budget cuts. Private detectives are just one piece of the private sector security and policing services that people are increasingly turning to as they worry about crime. The U.S. private security industry is expected to grow 6.3% a year to $19.9 billion by 2016, according to a study by security research group Freedonia Group Inc.  In California, where many cash-strapped cities cut police budgets during the recession, residents are turning to detectives, security firms and even the Internet.”

Is Detroit a Self-Defense Haven?

Posted on by

thelrcblog-50016

“Detroit has been getting a lot of attention for its recent shootings. Not the usual criminal stuff, but the step-up in self-defense shootings as people have come to realize that the police only exist to mark the outlines of bodies with chalk.  Justifiable homicide in the city shot up 79% in 2011 from the previous year, as citizens in the long-suffering city armed themselves and took matters into their own hands. The local rate of self-defense killings now stands 2,200% above the national average. Residents, unable to rely on a dwindling police force to keep them safe, are fighting back against the criminal scourge on their own. And they’re offering no apologies.”

These Vehicles Are Tons of Fun, and Good for Thwarting Road Rage

Posted on by

“Weapons buffs may stock semiautomatics in the gun safe. But nothing makes a statement like having an Army tank in the garage.  Scattered around the country are members of a small fraternity of guys who own tanks. They are hyper-avid history buffs or hyper-edgy investors or just wealthy men who can now afford hyper-sized versions of the toys they played with when they were boys. Tank brokers—yes, there is such a thing—estimate there are several hundred to 1,000 private tank owners in the U.S.”

Gun-control demagoguery is a lethal weapon

Posted on by

“Despite tough economic times, firearms and ammunition companies have created nearly 27,000 well-paying jobs over the past two years alone.  Smart lawmakers from Texas, Michigan, Oklahoma, Arizona, and South Carolina are now courting Remington away from New York and Magpul away from Colorado. For now, these states can offer business-friendly, Second Amendment–defending climates that support a demonized industry. But how much longer will it be until Obama and the pro-jobs hypocrites on Capitol Hill find new, more nefarious ways to obstruct this innovation-driving, wealth-producing sector of the American economy?”

Officer Safety Uber Alles: Christopher Dorner and the “Rickoverian Paradox”

Posted on by
“A citizen or privately employed security guard wouldn’t be able to ram an unidentified truck and open fire on its driver, or spray gunfire in a residential neighborhood, without facing criminal charges.  In the official reaction to Dorner’s rampage, we see an unusually candid manifestation of the ‘Officer Safety Uber Alles‘ mentality that defines police work. From their perspective, the population exists to protect and serve the police, rather than the reverse. This brings to mind the concept of Rickover’s Paradox, which I encountered in a science fiction novel decades ago.”

Federal Appeals Court Busts Police For Contempt Of Cop Arrest

Posted on by

“The officers did not say they were looking for a white Dodge, and asked Petithomme to produce identification and for permission to search her vehicle. Petithomme refused the search. On a third request for identification, Petithomme asked if she could go inside her home to retrieve it. It was granted, and as soon as she left the officers began searching through the Nissan. She returned and upon being asked a fourth time, she said the license must be in her car. She finally found it.  Enraged, Officer Martin arrested Petithomme on the spot, charging her with disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. The officers said the woman’s attitude showed she was ‘up to no good.'”

Maybe We’ll Reduce the NYPD to Firing Spitballs!

Posted on by

thelrcblog-50016

“As a reluctant and endangered resident of New York City, I deeply appreciate those heroes who stand up for my right to defend myself. A number of them work at companies that manufacture or sell guns, and they are boycotting the NYPD! Yes! They have ‘pledge[d] not to sell anything to a State or local government agency that can’t be sold to a resident of that state or locality.‘ Yeehaw! So far, a whopping 95 righteous retailers are onboard!  Unfortunately, the three corporations that supply almost all the NYPD’s firepower have refused to join their competitors in upholding the Second Amendment: Glock, SIG Sauer, and Smith and Wesson.”
