I know what time it is! It is time for some things to cease. I totally get that police officers need funding to help their departments. I get it! There has to be another way to achieve their goals. Red Light Enforcement Cameras are creating wealth for police departments and towns off the back of the people. It is also time for folks to cut their grass. Please adjust to your new community.
"Hurry up! Will you just go, dang! The light is about to change, GO! GO! GO!" I say words like this in my mind or out loud all the time now, since I received my Red Light ticket. Those Red Light Enforcement Cameras give me anxiety. I have to often remind myself that I need to release positive energy into my atmosphere to kill the anxiety hunting me when I drive. Seriously, these evil cameras are a form of economic oppression. They don't care! Before I received my initial fine from my Red Light Camera ticket, I was totally nonchalant while driving by any intersection. Now, I truly understand why so many cars used to honk their horns ferociously at me if I was in front of them and did not go immediately on green by the Red Light Cameras. They were trying their best to avoid getting a Red Light ticket and beat the light. Please be mindful of this information. No one wants to get a fine so drive your cars attentively. I have experience and can sympathize, now. Incidentally, this entire ordeal is only about money. They placed these red cameras in targeted areas. Check out the map. Look at all the Red Light dots on it (Cameras). They purposely placed Red Light Cameras in certain areas. Look at the areas with no red dots. The ACLU has argued that Red Light Cameras are unconstitutional. I am in agreement with the ACLU. I told my mind I would no longer go on the yellow light because that's how I got my first fine. It was not a realistic goal. The problem is, as American citizens we are granted the "Pursuit of Happiness." If I can't control the person's speed or attention span in front of me, I do not think it is conducive to issue out Red Light tickets. Plus, you cannot try to argue your case or fight against your ticket. No matter what you say, you will pay! I just knew the day I went to my hearing I was going to win. Get ready to humble yourself and do as you are told at the hearing! One-hundred bucks will be given to the police department, unless you find a way to dismantle the entire operation. The local leaders like the mayors and village board members in a town or city do not support the citizens of their people. If they did, they would not allow these Red Light Cameras to exist.
I was taking a walk one day and came across this yard of unmanaged grass. I just want to talk to my people for 3 seconds. I understand this is a website that allows all people to read it. Nevertheless, I want to encourage melanated folks to do your due diligence and cut your grass. Why would a person leave their yard unmanageable? Maybe they are sick and can't get around to cutting it? Perhaps the company they hired is incognito? Regardless of the reasons, as a home-owner, when you don't cut your grass your house makes the entire block look bad. Try your best to keep your grass cut. You could invest in buying your own lawnmower and cut your own grass, or you could hire a reputable company to maintain your yard. I was trained to serve my community when I was younger. My grandmother used to make sure we helped all of her neighbors with their groceries. I know there are still SFM parents and people who are training their kids how to serve. You never know what a little bit of time and kindness can do.
