EDIT: since apparently a bunch of people woke up with the wrong foot this morning or forgot to check the group they’re in:
This is a joke. Do not steal or vandalize speed enforcement cameras (or anything else for that matter). That’s against the law and you will likely get arrested.
If you’re addicted to crack or any other drugs, please seek professional help.
What if the speed limit is unreasonably high or low?
"unreasonably low"
Eh... What? Car drivers can get fucked in this case, they don't have a right to travel quickly, it's a privilege.
"Unreasonably high"
Then a police officer there won't change a thing and the road design won't change.
Eh .... What?
Never said it was fine, I said the issue lies elsewhere and the solutions we're currently taking about aren't the ones that will solve it.
If the speed limit is too high it's an administrative decision, they won't change the road design because they decided to have a high speed limit, a speed camera or a police officer won't charge people who are driving fast unless they're going over the speed limit that's already too high.
So you consider the law to be the definition of safety?
My question was intended to get you think about the fact that laws (and speed limits) are made by people, with all their flaws and biases, and they don't always do a good job.
I don't know how you can come to that conclusion from my message.
Good day to you!
Your words make it sound like you think the speed limit is some objective truth that cannot be questioned.
It can be questioned, not enforcing them isn't questioning them and won't make them change, if people disagree with the speed limit somewhere they can complain to the authorities responsible, in the meantime is still the limit and you're breaking the law by not respecting it. It's the same thing with every laws and is the reason why when they change, criminals don't suddenly get released from prison because the law they broke doesn't exist anymore.
Ever heard of the social contract theory?
Heck, what if I believe that school zones are bullshit and want to do 50mph in them and it's the kids responsibility to act safely? Would you defend my right to drive 50mph because you believe I have the right to question the speed limit in school zones this way or would you tell me to address the right people and live with the current limits until they're changed?
