Why blacks can't breathe

It's the 'justice' system racket, screwing people for money. SOMEONE has to pay for early retirement/double dipping, and 'if you're in court you are guilty, so pay those fees boy'.

Here in Ohio there is no car inspection except for emissions. There are some pretty rough cars on the road

I think you are right. I would much rather the cops pull over the dangerous drivers I see all the time. My point is for some people an old car may be all that they have for their job, which is of course very important for them.

I don't go in for emissions any more, over 70 and do under 5k miles per year.

[piece-itpete]

Agreed. This is also why I'm against raising gas taxes as an emissions ploy and strongly disliked the cash for clunkers program.

It happens in rural areas too...

The article is from 2011, but the cameras are still there. The way it works now is everybody does 55MPH until they reach the camera, slow to 45MPH, then speed right back to 55MPH. It's real safe!

"BLUFF CITY, Tenn. (AP) — Bluff City officials are enjoying the extra revenue from speed cameras that have generated more than a million dollars in a little over a year, but the windfall could be short-lived.

Between Jan. 1, 2010, and May 31, 2011, the cameras on U.S. Highway 11E in Piney Flats issued 39,923 citations to drivers, including now Gov. Bill Haslam, who was ticketed last year when he was caught speeding during his campaign.

The tickets netted the city nearly $1.6 million — an amount equal to eight times Bluff City's total property tax collections from the last fiscal year — during that period, according to the Bristol Herald Courier.

Just because a car iis old it is not necessarily junk. Our two Impala LSs are 14 years old look like new and are kept in top shape.

No, but I've nigger rigged (that was just for you Pete) plenty of other stuff. I patched up a hole in my floorboard with a piece of sheet metal that I found. When my kids used to ride in the backseat of one clunker I had they had to be careful to keep their feet up because if they put them down they would burn them on the hot muffler. One time I stopped and picked up a muffler and tailpipe from the side of the road that had fallen off another vehicle and I put it on my own car because it was in better shape than the muffler I had on it.

This was back about 25 years ago when I was hard up after a nasty divorce.

I tell you it takes a lot of talent and ingenuity to nigger rig stuff.

Things are much better now.

Now when my car needs work I take it to the shop and say "Fix It" and hand them my Mastercard just like a white person.
