Some people driving through a neighbourhood and they are five, 10 kilometres over, they are getting nailed. It’s not fair. So, I’m dead against this photo radar that they have.

Ford is upset that people are being caught and appropriately punished for breaking the law. Imagine if we had this attitude elsewhere, oh it was just fraud of 5-10% of their profits (okay bad example) or oh it was just 1 or 2 assaults.

He also complains that hes seen speed traps outside of school zones, as if school zones are the only reasonable place to enforce a legal speed limit. I swear car dependancy is slipping into the point of becoming a mental illness.

He’ll spout the same crap when he gets pulled over and he’s 10% above the legal limit for blood alcohol content.

10% over is a very conservative estimate there.
