I received a ticket from one of those in St. Louis. I tried to call the Police department to ask for calibration papers for my records, and they replied that they didn't know who to contact about that. So I kept calling different places and was switched from private company back to the Police and back again. Nobody could tell me who was responsible for those cameras. So I called each place back gave them my ticket number and told them that I would not be paying this ticket and I would not be driving down to St. Louis from Detroit to go to court either until some one contacted me about this ticket. They are no longer sending me anything about it. So they either gave up or I have a warrant.

F**k them. You don't even know who is in charge of the cameras but you just want me to pay it blindly. Man what a bunch of F**kin assholes.

In my area i believe i was told they ( red light cameras ) are operated by a private company.

In the area that I live in, every major highway leaving my area has a border patrol checkpoint. It didn't bother me so much when the Border Patrol was part of the DoJ, now they are part of the DHS.

If I want to go to a major city, I have to drive through a checkpoint where my citizenship is challenged, I have to tell them what my destination is, I am photographed, I have to submit to random searches of my vehicle and my private property with no probable cause. My vehicle can be dismantled in a search for drugs, illegal aliens, whatever and they dont have to put it back together. It is my responsibility to put it all back together.

When I am returning home, I have to drive through a gauntlet of about 35-50 cameras mounted on poles on both sides of the road. These cameras photograph me, my passengers, my licencse plates virtually every aspect of my vehicle. Why do they need to photograph me going home? Why are they tracking my movements? Why do I have to be subjected to this?

Mind you, these checkpoints are well inside the United States, not right along the border. 70 miles inside the United States or more.

Big Brother is alive and well in the United States and has been for some time. Don't kid yourselves.
