Are your school zones active 24/7? In some states, they're only active for like 1-2 hours leading up to and just after school starts, then again from just before school lets out and active for another 1-2 hours.

We don't have any in my town, and I don't spend a ton of time in queens and Brooklyn, so I dunno. My town is just 25 everywhere all the time.

If I got a school zone ticket at 1:30 AM, not only would I take it to court, the judge would 100% throw it out because those rules would never be applicable in the dead of night. Seems strange to me.

Who is this guy and does he have more videos? This could be entertaining

I guess it's this guy so you can do more digging. The song I'm assuming that's playing is his which was labeled at the end "jimmy and the jaywalkers - criminal mischief"

From what I recall, quite a few years ago, there was a protest where many people stopped paying them on the basis that you have a right to face your accuser; I don't know what happened with that.

They get around it by making it a civil fine, so the 6th amendment doesn't count, not criminal.

Upvoted for the unequivocally not AI assisted song. The world needs more weirdly passionate people like this

He's been making these videos for some time. Interesting dude.

I tried searching the bit at the end but it just went to the band and I didn't think of digging further. Thanks

Same on irrelevance, but seemed like one of those types of things I'd still binge 😂 thanks for the link

I'm confused. Are we against surveillance or not?

We are against private companies tracking you across state lines on behalf of the police. We are not against toll cameras, speed cameras, red light cameras that enforce rules at a single point.

I'd wager this driver just thinks he's above paying tolls, or bring punished for breaking traffic laws.

I thought it was kinda neat because I've never lived anywhere where people do this.

For sure, but I live in Jersey, and the cost of getting back to Queens to fight it would have far exceeded the cost of just paying it. It's a game and they know it. My days of wasting nights in court out of principle are in my past. Maybe they'll come back again though.
