• 1:41
  Speaker 1: go to FAA and do all that stuff. Some of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the roots will just go away. But it's a good
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: question the employees. Hopefully they all find jobs soon. But
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling, Dave. Let's go to Stuart, South Carolina. Stuart,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: how you doing, Hey, lor Caroll.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: You know we've discussed this before about to speed cameras
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: and light cameras. I believe they're completely unconstitutional. You know,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: many many people that I stopped, I gave breaks to.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: In South Carolina, we allowed twelve to fifteen miles an
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: hour over When you start just carte blanch sending people
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: speeding tickets for whatever they set over the speed limit,
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: that's just communistic. You have a right to face your accuser.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: I've never seen a speed camera show up in court
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: to testify against the individual that was speeding. I cannot believe,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: at the bottom my soul that anybody would be in favor.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Of these things.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Well, it is completely outrageous. It's just a revenue getter,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: is what it is.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're one of these, there are lawyers who
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: just do traffic tickets. But what they do. The only
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: thing you can do. You go into court. You argue
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: speed camera wasn't tested recently, wasn't calibrated correctly, that kind
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of stuff. That's all you can argue the inspection of Yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I'd just.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Like to say that if I go into court, if
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: I'm running speeding tickets, I go into court. If the
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: people pay off, that's fine. If they show up, I
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: testify against them. And if people want to pay off
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: these speeding tickets to the state, you know, that's fine.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: But how do you go into court and argue about
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: this with a camera? You cannot do it. I think
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: they are completely unconstitutional. I'd like to know what speed
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: limit they're going to set these at? Over fifty five
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: and you know dorn Well, as you said, if they
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: go into work zones, they're going to expand these everywhere.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: And it is just outrageous. At red lights when they
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: have these red light cameras, people are slamming on the brakes,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: hitting people in the back. That they have a lot
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: of accidents at these things because people don't want tickets.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: But then you sit behind that line and you're stuck
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: there because people keep going through the green, but when
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: it turns red, you can't go. If you do, you're
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: going to get a red light ticket. They're just an abomination.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: And I cannot believe anybody's.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Out of work. It's replacing them. That's good.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Well, no, really, we have a lot to do, but
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: it is. Yeah, it is absolutely yeaut rageous.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: All right, great call Stuart, thanks for calling. Let's go
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to Mike and Yonkers. Mike, how you doing good?
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Mark?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: How are you good?
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: I just want to get back you both the h
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: the speed cameras back up and also the license plates
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: readers from last week. There's they did an investigation. There's
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: Ben Jordan, the technologist did an investigation. Is in heavent
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: flaws in these cameras and and their broke head. He
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: was able to access live data and archive data. It's
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: being broadcast directly to the open Internet without aim you
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: SI you know, you don't need any security to get
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: archive to to access it or anything like that. And
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: also it also has these cameras have artificial intelligence in
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: them where they can identify an individual and monitor their
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: movements as well.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. Thanks for calling you. We
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: mentioned that a couple of days ago. These can these
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: speed cameras are not from the government. It's a private
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: company that makes them, installs them, and runs them. Government
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: hires this private company, and apparently they're collecting data on people.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You know, when the camera catches you speeding, that's one thing,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: but it can also get your license number from that,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it can get your address, your name, it can start
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: investigating you all over the internet, selling your data. You know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: everybody assumes that's a government camera. It's a private company.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And other problems these speed cameras. Again, what do you
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: do in court? Now? A lot of people to get
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a ticket, not a lot of people, but some people
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: will hire an attorney. There's attorneys who are great at
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: speeding tickets. Now, who wants to spend thousands of dollars
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: for an attorney when you could just pay the ticket
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: for a couple hundred. But you know, if you're a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: rich guy and you've got a problem, and you've been
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: caught a few times and you don't want to lose
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: your license, or get it suspended. You hire one of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: these attorneys and all they can do in the court
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: is argue that the camera wasn't properly installed. They'll check
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the inspection stickers on it. It wasn't inspected recently, it's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: not calibrated. Correct. You can do that kind of stuff.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: But that's about it. Let's go to Mark and Staten
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: island Mark. How you doing?
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, h these speak cameras. If I lend my car
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: to somebody and they speeding, who pays the insurance penalty?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Well that's an interesting question, but I think it's you
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: because otherwise you have to you have to go to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: court and prove it. You'd have to go into a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: courtroom and argue about it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, also, the fifty five mile hole speed limit,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: with the federally mandated speed limit started with Nixon and
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: seventy three is responsibly opec oil crisis. I just want
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: to say that for your record.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so again, the fifty five milar speedlim was only
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to save gas, only to save oil, had nothing to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: do with speeding being dangerous or anything like that. So
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: put it back to sixty five. It's still sixty five.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: You know, you get outside the city. You're up there
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: on the you know, once you get past everything, sixty five,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: everybody's going sixty five, they'll argue, well, safer at fifty five.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Everybody's been going sixty five anyway, so it wouldn't make
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: much difference. Hey, when we come back. The great comedian
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Fayla, he's on with us now every night, nine
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to midnight. Excellent show every night, nine to midnight, and
• 7:18
