A camera or a radar trap?

Ah sorry for using the term people use it here normally. I meant radar trap.

They try to be as inconspicuous as possible with them here. Most of the time there will be cameras at intersections for running a red light and ones in school zones for speed. Other than that it's actual patrol cars.

We have vans here and they set the trap either from within the van or the put it next to the road. If you are careful of them, you can spot them easily before they radar gun can catch you. No checking in the city areas. Traffic Police is one of the best and honest system running here. They used to be the most corrupt officials. Then they went through a revamp, and the new police is deadly honest. Being paid well is another factor to discourage them from taking bribes.

Here they try their best to hide. A van would be pretty hard to hide though, lol

They try to hide and if they do pull you over for hiding. My government teacher taught me it is actually illegal for cops to do that but most people dont know.

Just like it's illegal for them to not tell you they're cops? Sounds like another urban myth to me.

I don't really know. He said it is classified under some form of entrapment.

That's the same thing they say about asking someone if they're a cop or not. It's BS

 

[Naomi]

They're not allowed to hide. They have to be visible. Then again, barely visible is still visible.

I'd say, I guess that doesn't apply for both directions of traffic then

And even if they weren't most wouldn't bother arguing about it I think.

Maybe it annoys you because this discussion started years ago? XD one of the reasons I rarely visit the Naruto section, too much whiners who complain about the same shit over and over again. Don't even want to start about the people who complain about every chapter, that's not limited to Naruto though. If you dislike it so much, just stop reading or stfu

No, it's the same old retarded argument that is illogical. "blahblah Uchiha is overpowered because of Sharingan!" Manga states otherwise. Or it's "Sasuke's gotten free powerups and is haxxed!!!111111111" although Sasuke got pwned so many times by Bee and the four kage. And what about Naruto getting free powerups?

But yeah, same old shit.

They fail at it.

Edit: Got it.

Just be smarter with the cabbage

Adi I have the same problem, I spend my money too carelessly. But I've got some dubloons saved up so I'm not at crisis-point but I could do better. I also have loads of lists of stuff I wanna get. Where is my winning loterry ticket dammit!???

 

[kdowns]

I am mad at Gamestop because they wouldn't let me Pre-Order Pokemon White 2.

 

[Naomi]

I confess that I'm not afraid of dying or what comes after. One of my greatest fears, however, is leaving this world unchanged.

I knooow, right? Let's win the lottery together!

Naomi, I have a similar fear. I'm afraid of my time coming before I've tried doing all the things I want to do, like chasing after my dreams and having a family.
