If they choose to break them they will do so at their own risk. Yes Efforts to enforce the rules are a waste of time, since it will not stem the tide of irresponsible behavior. Is that about right? No. It is the job of the duly appointed Officer (Sheriff, constable, Highway Patrolman, Trooper) to enforce the laws, not me. Right, but it's the responsibility of every citizen to apply the social equivalent of peer pressure to those who refuse to "tow the line". This form of intimidation was widely employed in days long gone, but has largely been abandoned in this age of indifference. Dave, peer pressure might work among friends, but complete strangers couldn't give a rats ass. You'd be surprised at just how many people's habits are influenced by the habits of other, complete strangers. Take a look at some of the ridiculous fashion trends over the years, which have nonetheless become popular, for the most obvious evidence of this peer influence. People need to be made aware that "minor laws" are not always as "minor" as they may think. Many people believed that crimes such as cable TV theft of service were "minor" because what was being stolen was not physically tangible. But when the lost revenue for the cable companies were added to the picture, it's not such a "victimless" crime. Speeding, on the surface, does not seem to be a big deal either. But consider what can happen when there is a traffic mishap. Speed lessens reaction time, and increases the potential for damage and injury. Most laws were not created to ruin people's fun. They were created to protect society as a collective whole. There would be no reason for me to go chasing after a speeder and pull along side of him and start to berate him on how he was speeding. It would just **** him off and maybe create an even worse situation, road rage. Maybe so, but if people routinely did this, there would be a lot less people speeding, and the cops would have an easier job. Sorry, I'll disagree. Each to their own opinion Ok, you have the right to disagree. Since you do not agree with my idea of active community involvement in awareness of laws, then what would you suggest that we, as a society, do to stem the rising tide of indifference to laws? There's a difference with "community" involvement and State involvement. While I might say something to someone in my town, I will not bother with some guy on the highway, that would never see me again in a million years. Any cop will tell you not to confront a law breaker, call them and let them know, that is their job. Throw a ball in front of a speeding car, make him swerve, possibly crash, injure himself or someone other, you will be the law breaker, not the speeder. That would not be a good idea. But leaving a little "note" on the offender's car every time it happens, including the forwarding of their license number to the cops, might make someone think a little. To get a ticket, an officer must see the offence happen, just telling him that Jimmie was speeding won't do anything. Maybe if we all lived in Mayberry RFD something might happen, but not in this day & age. Maybe that needs to change to some degree. You're right of course, and that knowledge just enables lawbreakers. Perhaps if people could be cited without a LEO physically witnessing the offense, the problem would diminish. Never happen, due process of the law. We are not deputized by the local government to enforce the law. Also, same issue as with enforcing FCC rules by local law, we would have to go through many hour or training, do you have the time? I don't raising two kids working 9+ hours a day. Technology offers yet another solution. GPS technology and OBD-II emission control systems can be integrated to the point where all functions of the car can be monitored. If the car travels down a road over the posted speed limit, it sends a little "On-Star" type message to a LEO, and a ticket in then issued. This has the added benefit of enabling the tracking of the car if it were to be stolen. This is similar to the idea of mounting cameras to take pictures of people running red lights. People will scream "Big Brother". But maybe that's what it takes when you can't trust people to behave on their own. Already done, dismissed in the courts. A rental car agency was doing that, issuing speeding tickets to thier customers, the courts ordered them to stop. As a parent, I have become very conscious of people speeding through residential neighborhoods. I would hate to have my kid or an neighbor's kid fall victim to someone who's ignoring a "nuisance" law. Good Luck! I've gone to the city and county councils, tried to get the street closed at one end, to prevent all the people from speeding down my street to get over to their street faster, but not a chance. Speed bumps? Yeah right! I don't want to hear the sound of cars "jumping" the speed bumps at all hours of the night & day. So the best they can offer is "selective" enforcement, LOL!! Useless! Hmm.... I'm not sure how I want to proceed here. On the one hand I can lambast you for your duplicitous position with regard to "selective" speeding (It's ok, just don't do it on my street). Yeah you could, but then this thread will have gone from a civil thread to an abusive thread. I am a little that way, as for around town I don't really speed, out in the coutry side, on the bike, yeah. But again about the worst that can happen there is tha I kill myself. As for on the freeway, Bronco doesn't go over 70MPH, so don't speed there. My other cars on the freeway, I'll admit that I ocassionally go over the speed limit, but nothing dramatic, most cars are still passing me, so the cops go by me and catch the guy that's going 20-30 MPH over the speed limit. On the other hand, I might be tempted to say that you give up too easily. Politicians have to answer to the people, usually those who make the most noise. Record the problem. Present the issue to the town council, their decisions are public record. Make it known that if, at some point in the future, a kid does get killed due to a speeding car, that they can be held as a party to the crime, due to their negligence, and refusal to act to mitigate the situation in the face of irrefutable evidence. That's correct, petitions, 80% of residents, they still didn't care. Yes, it usually takes a fatality for locals to install stops signs, speed enforcement etc etc in the state of California. You usually can not hold a California politician accountably unless they show gross disregard or criminal activity. Do we, as American citizens, not have a responsibility to stand up for what is right? Do we have a responsibility to instill the need to be more law abiding? Yes, but as for "enforcement" of most laws, that is the responsibility of the Police, not average Joe on the street. The police are given the jurisdiction to make arrests and levy fines. But we all share the responsibility to make it known that we will not stand by and allow these things to go on. By doing nothing, you are giving your passive condonation, which further re-enforced the attitude that breaking the law is "ok". Here's where we part company Dave....... I AM NOT A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER! I will report it to the local authorities, hope that they handle it accordingly, that is the reason I pay taxes. We're not really parting company. I'm not advocating that you play cop. But reporting the issue repeatedly WILL get the attention of the LEO's, and the problem will get some attention. If nobody takes the responsibility to make those reports, the cops will think that all's well in happytown. Dave "Sandbagger" Landshark -- Most true happiness comes from one's inner life, from the disposition of the mind and soul. Admittedly, a good inner life is hard to achieve, especially in these trying times. It takes reflection and contemplation and self-discipline. |

YOU are the one who sees fit to paste it in, when it suits you. I deliberately do not bring my ham status into this group as a rule, since it is not relevant. The fact that my call is part of my email address is incidental, not deliberate. Dave "Sandbagger" http://home.ptd.net/~n3cvj _ Oh? Someone ELSE made your email for you, making it "incidental" (definition: "Happening or likely to happen in an UNPLANNED conjunction")? _ Sigh. I should have known I'd have to explain it to you in the same manner that I have to use when explaining things to my 4 year old. _ Your 4 year old has been that age for years. Why is that child not aging, Davie? Ah..never mind. _ My 4 year old has been a 4 year old since January. Before that, she was a three year old. _ I said never mind, but you have exhibited an uncanny penchant for invoking your child into this newsgroup on many occasion, but such is to be expected from fathers who are separated from their child and only permitted supervised visits. Your pain manifests in the strangest of places, such as this group, but really, it isn't relevant, except to illustrate you couldn't even maintain a successful relationship with the mother of your child, let alone anyone else. _ *I* made up my email address. But its inclusion in any headers is not a deliberate act on my part. _ No one mentioned headers, Davie, except you. Let's look at what you said again. _ No, let's keep what you said in context. _ LOL..of course you would say NO to looking at what you said, it presents your idiocy and self-contradictions. _ You said: =A0 =A0"Same reason you feel it pertinent to present your hammie call in a CB ng. _ Which to anyone with normal comprehensive skills, would mean that I deliberately sign my messages with it or otherwise include the fact within the message body. _ Which has nothing to do with headers you are s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g to invoke, Davie-son, just like I maintained and you refused to acknowledge. _ Since you once again ran your fingers before you had your brain fully engaged, you made that erroneous accusation, and are now backpeddling. _ The back pedal is all yours. To "peddle", is to sell your wares, Davie-son. but since you again ran your mouth and fingers before you had your brain engaged, you made that erroneous statement and are now being force-fed the correction. _ I am hardly "flaunting" my ham status. _ No one accused you of doing such. You're way too paranoid. _ You did, see above. _ I did no such thing. I claimed you brought your call sign to this group after you claimed you did not. Anyone with normal cognitive comprehension skills that do not suffer such massive communication deficits sees that you most certianly did bring your call here. To wit: _ The fact that my call is part of my email address is incidental, not deliberate. _ Again,,the call is most certainly deliberate and NOT incidental. Sit down and take a rest, as your are quite dizzy from all that spinning you attempt. _ You will not see me signing it in the message body of any message posted on this group. _ Never claimed such,,,,merely claimed that you indeed brought your call to the group, and you did. Now you're angry once again because I illustrated your goofy lies and you resorted to what you always do when caught in lies,,,,,insults. You're a lowlife, davie-son. _ You need to dig some more. The only thing you're coming up with are dirty hands. _ No need to dig. One merely needs to watch your posts full of contradictions and lies. _ I made no such contradictions. Conversely, you make many accusations which, when confronted with them, resort to obfuscation and spin followed by the inevitable backpeddle. Like your lie concerning the Phelps, or the cber in "suburban" philthadelphia (which you demonstrated you have no clue what constitutes a "suburbia" of a town or city) that you claimed was convicted, except no record exists. Indidentally (hyuk), those "dirty hands" only come from handling you and dragging you across the coals with your own lies. _ You are the only one who lies here. And you're not even dead yet..... _ Sucks for you and Lelnad,,,,LOL..the both of you scumbag lids harass cbers for behavior you both engaged,,I merely point such things out and watch you go to pieces, insult, and cry about off-topics. _ Dave "Sandbagger" http://home.ptd.net/~n3cvj _ "The fact that my call is part of my email address is incidental, not deliberate" N3CVJ - Dave "Hypocrite" Hall |

dave the "hypocrite" Hall, N3CVJ ignorantly professed:
Ok, you have the right to disagree. Since you do not agree with my idea of active community involvement in awareness of laws, then what would you suggest that we, as a society, do to stem the rising tide of indifference to laws? The Bush administration released just this week domestic crime has decreased steadily over the last three years. Stop lying to try and bolster your psychotic analogies related to a cb newsgroup. You're all washed up here, hypocrite. Stop trying so hard to gain acceptance. You ruined yourself and your hammie reputation long ago with your lies. |

While I might say something to someone in my town, I will not bother with some guy on the highway, that would never see me again in a million years.

Maybe if a few cases set precedent, other local politicians will sit up and take notice. Dave "Sandbagger" |
