Sometimes the Cops are the problem a friend w a challenge race car he drives on the road was doing 15 mph in his road legal race car, a Cop heard him but didnt see him and wrote him up for racing which carries lots of points The cop of course was a total AH and tried to skru him as much as possible including lying in court when asked if a Honda civic and a Ferrari 360 would sound the same w the same exhaust the Cop said "Yes, I think so" dumazz so be careful out there
Is this a joke? We are talking about the local governments putting to much power of the law into the hands of citizens and you somehow go from that to anti-semitic ultra right wing propaganda? Seriously, there is no place for this kind of hate speech left in the world. You should be ashamed. Don't use Ferrari Chat to spew your extremist racist c***. And about the radar detectors in private citizens hands, well, it's just a few steps from local governments issuing hand guns to private citizens. Fairly alarming IMO.
Why bring a dog in to this? What'd Lassie do to you? Jesus Killers eh? You have ancient Romans on your block? They must be awfully dry and wrinkly by now. Maybe you should go back to school where one of those alleged Jesus Killers might teach you the phrase "Laissez Faire" which actually means that you shouldn't spew your racist vitriol at the alleged Jesus Killers in the first place.
Well...if I was speeding through the neighborhood I would rather get a warning than a ticket from a real cop who might be posted around the corner trying to fill his quota with easy targets. Not to mention we have a certain female driver with a jacked up SUV and loud stereo that floors it down the street...
A lot of my neighbors dont like me. After they did a few things to piss me off recently I borrowed a friends chopper and rode around and around the neighborhood around 2:30am for a good hour. I can only imagine how many letters I would be getting on a weekly basis.
I don't have to worry about this in NY. My closest neighbor had their house burn down and I didn't know it happened for a week. Houses are kind of spread out up here.
You could also keep a foot on the brake and a brick on the loud pedal ... smoke across the whole neighbourhood, yet you're under the speed limit. I refrain from exceeding 20-30mph in residential areas (you never know when a kid's gonna run across the street), but the image of bored to death jerk-a$$ neighbours sitting on their lawn radar gun in hand infuriates me. How boring must your life be before you spend hours on your front yard on a power trip high.
I'll match your radar gun and raise you a Smith and Wesson .357........................I call! I watched a neighbor, when I was young child just turn and sling a sharpshooter shovel thru a windshield as a kid drove by too fast.....he slowed right on down.
WOOF WOOF. Lassie, can you tell me where the racist/bigot/anti semite is? WOOF. He's right here on fchat? WOOF He's right in this thread? WOOF I just quoted him? WOOF WOOF WOOF He belongs somewhere else, maybe NaziChat.com? WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF. OK Lassie, calm down, we can handle it easier than that. Jesus Killers??? You gotta be kidding me? No soup for you. Take your closed mind and go elsewhere, we're not buying what you're selling here. All those in favor, say WOOF. Now that would be market forces at work without government intervention. Laissez-faire! DM
Awwe....c'mon, now.....'Jesus Killers' is funny. Even my Christian sensibilities got a good laugh over that one.....
This was done in my neighborhood last spring... One of the residents who was "loaned" the radar gun the got some (probably) unwanted help. I am told that when a concerned member of our community returned to our neighborhood at 3am and saw no lights on at the self appointed speed traps home, he became concerned and just wanted to make sure everything was OK. So he knocked on the door... He was just concerned about the neighbors safety you see... Bravo I say!!!
The Jesus statement is a line from Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas... don't eat a hole in your stomach over it. Someone needs their medicine!!! You God damned hippie smoke a joint, take a red LOL
I worked for a small college that was tucked away up in the mountains. The only way to get to it was through a residential neighborhood. The neighbors were convinced that the students were speeding through their streets so they asked the cops to set up a speed trap. After three days the count of tickets was 10-1 againt the NEIGHBORS! They politely asked the cops to cease and desist. On a more serious and personal note, I can remember like it was yesterday an incident where I was an immature young teen who had been driving less than a year. I was in a hurry to do something (god knows what) but like an idiot I went speeding through a residential neighborhood (about 70 in a 25mph zone). There was a woman in her front yard that saw me speeding by and she screamed at me to slow down. It wasn't the fact that she screamed, it was the look of sheer terror in her eyes that really shook me up and made me realize how dangerous I was being. I immediatly slowed down, and to this day I do not speed in residential areas. Thank god I didn't kill some poor kid wandering into the street. My opinion is that if the neighbors want to run their own radar trap, and the worst that can result is a warning the by all means let them do it. Perhaps some parents will receive much needed information on their children's iindiscretions.
Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes. Find this & more at http://www.findcliches.com/wordphrases.htm Reminds me of ArtCenter... Residents went nuts about students "speeding through" their enclave. They installed speed bumps, radar crap, etc. I'm not sure I ever actually saw a student speeding (before or after the wasted tax dollars).
HOGA-A-A-A-A-ANNNNN !!!!!! Slow that thing down.....you mean you're only going 30???? Image Unavailable, Please Login
She's across the street from me. Except she's NOT a liberal by any stretch and also not a witch. Just a self important c**t. I always go slow as there are a million kids on my street, but she must have thought I was speeding when I was doing 0-25 MPH runs to adjust out a flat spot. She called the cops but I must have been done by the time they came; I never saw them. A week later I get pulled over by a cop and we had a nice chat. He loved the car and apologized for the hassle. I told him I was doing a carb adjustment and I'm sure it was loud but I wasn't speeding; hell I have 2 kids myself. He said he's seen me around and never saw me speeding either. He also didn't do anything about no front plate which he probably knew about! Now when I pass her house I'm always in 1st gear for maximum effect. Ken
Where ever this program goes into affect, we should get f-chatters to request the radar guns. Then you could have some fun! regards ken

Agreed. We get idiots on motorcycles doing the 4AM redline run down the sweeping four lane road near my house, in a 45mph zone. A warning letter would do them good. Also, if anyone wants to clock me in the Ferrari, let 'em. I keep the car reined in anywhere the school/residential streets around here. Lol
