  Re: red light cameras CAUSE accidents
 
(...) Google it. You'll be inundated with a full range from "well-reasoned and documented" to "wacky paranoid government-out-to-get-us". But it's fairly obviously an issue, and there's good information out there on it. If the cameras are "causing" (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Why start with Iraq? - (Re: Iraq, Dictators, and Peace)
 
(...) Of course the perception is fact. "Perception" as in there is the perception that Israel is the victim. You misconstrued my answer. (...) Who cares? I was merely pointing out that you were being inconsistent. Or you weren't making your real (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: red light cameras CAUSE accidents
 
(...) We have a similar issue with speed camera's in the UK: "The effect of the camera on driver behaviour can create new problems such as erratic braking and acceleration and distract drivers from the traffic flow." See: (URL) (...) Which is just (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: red light cameras CAUSE accidents
 
Hm, interesting. I have seen reports of fewer accidents, but I wonder how well you can trust them. The incentives sure are wrong, and certainly present a true risk of incorrect reaction (cutting short the yellow light time). Another interesting (...)

  Re: Is this an overreaction and a violation of rights?
 
I'm not sure why I continue debating here. It's hard to see all the sides of a person when the debate draws out like this. My initial reaction to this incident was based on a number of incidents in a very short time. In all likelihood I am (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: red light cameras CAUSE accidents
 
(...) See? I've always told you that you can't trust private corporations to run things! Seriously though, I'd be interested to hear more about the truncated yellows. If the cameras are "causing" accidents because people are pushing the existing (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  red light cameras CAUSE accidents
 
(...) Don't get me started on these cameras... they're bad. It's not the rights violation claim (which is false, unless you report the car stolen because it actually was stolen, you're responsible for what people do with your property), it's the (...)

(...) Fact. (...) Does Kuwait really have democracy? (...) This is utter hypocrisy. (...) Worse for Afghans or the USA? (...) There may well be. Why not tighten the screws on Musharraf, the Saudi’s or Sharron? These guys rely on support from the USA (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
