>IIRC its illegal in CT to random scan plates and check registration because its a secondary infraction.
And yet police departments do it all the time. Many towns use their ALPRs to do this very thing. Those systems are like $15k, so they need revenue to cover the purchase price.

Reply to comment by ILoveBaconDammit in Where to donate woman's clothes of all types not for resale, thank you kindly, Oxford area by LiveCommunication726
yes the shelter for women treated unfairly, my ex used to donate there. I think I just needed reassurance it hurts me to support a place that tries to merchant someone in need, when someone with love in their heart donated something to truly benefit other people.
non problem solved, thank you kindly, love always

If you get a ticket from one of these automated systems, can you fight it?

Ok so we aren’t going to talk about the elephants in the room? I’ll wait for someone to point em out because there’s a bunch.

I guess I’m a little off on this artist post. But you should still check out his stuff.

Check out Arcy. He did the wall to wall mural in the new Dan Patrick Show studio in Milford. Super talented artist.

I'm not a big fan of this because sometimes work zone signs are up with absolutely nobody working

🤣🤣 I suppose. The nuts don't fall far from the trees. I've spent most of my life here. Escaped three separate times, briefly, but ended up back here every time.

Meriden, pop 60k+
Middletown, pop 47k
Why is Middletown on this map, and not Meriden?

I don’t think plate frames are illegal as long as they don’t obscure any information on the plate. That includes the ”Connecticut” and “Constitution State” parts. But I’m sure a cop can write for whatever he feels like in that regard and just say the frame obscured something.

Yeah, they are more expensive than Sabrina’s. I was originally turned off by that, but you generally get what you pay for.

MD has them all over. Speed trap cameras. Went there once almost a decade ago. Got two tickets for 15$ each. And yep. Pretty much impossible to fight since you'd have to drive back down to MD to do so. And they make them cheap enough that I bet most people don't because they don't want to bother to take the time. I bet they make bank on this. It's ridiculous. What's worse. The area I got them in was a backroad and there were literally no other cars around. I assure you. No one was being made safer by these cameras.

I would love to find a shirt with it, add to cart, and eventually close the browser without purchasing!

Just the speed camera PR folks that are all over reddit. The average citizen agrees with you.

It's interesting how there seem to be many PR folks on reddit when it comes to speed cameras. These things do almost nothing - particularly when it's not in fixed locations without warning - to slow down traffic, but is a great revenue generator for the companies that make these devices.
Want to slow down traffic in construction zones? Hire more cops to visibly sit in these areas - nothing slows down traffic like a visible police cruiser.
Cue the speed camera PR folks arguing otherwise in 3, 2,1 ...

Most cops have a bigger arsenal than this. Why are they allowed to still buy banned weapons to keep at home?

+1 for Julianos, been using them for years. A couple of minor hickups but nothing too major. Only thing is expect the price to go up every s i n g l e year. I have them do my pool closings only.
