According to the rules of the road you need to wait untill all traffic going straight and turning right clears the intersection. So the left turn arrow runs only two seconds. We have to turn left by reacting to it like we're Don Prudhomme.

It simply changes form. And sometimes, those who are doing the crimewatching are the criminals themselves. It all depends which laws are being broken and who's paying enough attention to it all. I really don't think cameras in the streets were put there to keep crime down at all. It think it's just more of the same "Keep an eye on them" type mentality that's taking over America. I believe that if all the people were to go out into the streets and rip the ugly bastards down and drag them and drop them infront of their nearest police station and walk away, they would not put them back up. We paid for them right? Well, tell them to recycle them into Badges and put the Beat Cop back on The Beat where he belongs. Sorry.... sometimes the truth just jumps up and bites you on the gouche. It sucks...get over it. Have a great day America :-) Crime is like Energy; you can’t get ride of it. It simply changes form.

Yep...that's what they told the people in England too. Then they started using the "License Plate Recognition" software and Vwalla! Instant Nanny State. You've got cameras with loudspeakers on them and the cops yell at you when you get to close to the sides of a crosswalk. They peak in your windows at all hours of the day and night, so you draw the curtains. You walk down the street and they have facial recognition software and keep records of all your friends; where you go, what you buy, how long you stay in the shops, who you meet, etc. ***So when they say it's simply for Traffic Congestion or Safety, you tell them you don't want it. And if they put it up anyway, give it back to them. Everytime they drain the canal they can have it back. Don't trust a damned word they say. Their track record for telling the truth, for the lack of a better word.....SUCKS!!

I now drive as close to the posted speed limit as I can, I'll slam my breaks to stop on a yellow light, camera light or not, it took a little getting use to and it mostly annoys other drivers but who cares, I try to shop in areas where I don't have to pass by a camera light. So change your driving habits because the police have been letting everything go like speeding, reckless driving and many others. In my state there are billboards stating slow down drive the speed limit or you will be ticketed. In these hard times the city's will be looking for more ways to get money, Change your habits and hope for the best and always stop on yellow even if it kills you.

Have they actually solved any crimes; or are crimes down in those areas because the criminal element simply moved to where there are no cameras? This is what happened in Britain. It also happened in Los angeles but not due to cameras. Real police work started cracking down on the Crips and Bloods there and crime fell drastically. However, crime escalated in Omaha because that is where they migrated to avoid the L.A. crackdown. Crime never goes away. It merely moves around. Officer Josh,
