@ butch 3, it's nice to see the money going to something good, however the problem with the entire Ohio valley (Youngstown area) is that any money is good....even dirty money. This place will never change. My heart is there, but thank goodness I'm no longer there.
NoBS, I'll say it again, if the cameras are getting pictures of vehicles going the other way an your vehicle "the idiots in charge are too stupid and incompetent to run them. Your typical HS grad that started out as a part time city council and moved up the chain to be in charge." That's the problem.
YSUgrad99.=, you must have been an art major. The technology is definitely there, it's just the idiots in that area are to uneducated to figure out how to use it.
georgejeanie, nice post. Im sick of hearing the whining. It doesn't matter what idiot is in office, the entire Youngstown area is so corrupt that nothing will turn that place around. There was even a DA that left Ytown in the late 90s or early 2000s citing the overwhelming corruption as the reason. He moved back to LA....Really, LA. And for those of you that don't know anything outside of Ytown, that's Los Angeles. Maybe if some people get an education, leave for a while and then return with some perspective, they can try to change that area for the better. Oh, forgot to mention, People that aren't dirty normally don't just go missing. There is usually a reason. My prayers go out to the family. How sad for them.
Really, Moliterno is going to count cars? What happens when people carpool and 4 workers ride in one car? How do you count them? Or, if a family only has one vehicle and the employee is dropped off at work. Does anyone in this administration have any business experience or sense...and I don't mean operating a small pizza shop. You need a definitive number of those that will be taxed. Shelby, good on you. The city better take what they can get before acting like asses. Moliterno, when you're done counting cars, we need you to stop at Jib Jab and pick up the Mayors lunch.
I think they are trying to say the the suspect was at the police department, but not put behind bars. Then they took him back out onto the streets. Anyway, please tell me that these idiots broke some rule and that this isn't standard operating procedure. Even my car has child locks on the doors that prevents the doors from being opened from inside! So what action will Andy take to correct Barney and Gomer?
Ok, I can't even be bothered to read all these responses, but I've been ticket by traffic cameras before and You were able to clearly identify my face as the driver. Bottom line is that even if you can't make a positive identification and prosecute, the cameras will be a deterrent. It probably will bring in revenue and might save a life. If you're doing the right thing and obeying the law, you have nothing to worry about. Oh, by the way, I was a cop in the area & the camera doesn't bother me. What's the Chief afraid of?
I've live in areas of the country that utilize traffic cameras as well as countries overseas. I can't imagine any negative impact fro having the cameras. Those that argue that cameras will discourage people from coming into town, therefore hurting business are just grasping at excuses. People aren't going to stop coming into town because of a camera, but it might cause people to slow down a little, saving lives. The worst economy since the depression doesn't keep most people out of the bars, why would you think a camera will.
Folks, it's not about boxing. It's about the area's communities taking advantage of every opportunity they can to promote themselves. I left the area over 20 years ago and made the military a career, and everytime I return home I see very little change. Do I know what the answer is, no, but what I do know is that those that are hired/elected to find the answers don't seem to be working very hard at finding them. Maybe it's because they have jobs!
