City Set To Unleash Automated Ticketing Cameras On Noisey Vehicles

Well that ones close to home. I wonder how long it'll be before kids start tricking the device to issue false tickets.

There is always someone trying to take the fun out of life...I believe that with only a few exceptions civilization reached its pinnacle in the summer of 1959. I remember it well..it was a warm summer evening at
the car hop filled with rods, Harlies, '57 Chevies and a few foreign
jobs mixed in. Since then its all been a slow slide down hill...now we have video cameras at every light and the noise police are coming to get ya. Sad.
