Little Bobby Tables’ got his driver’s licence. lol I am lost. programmer memes are next level TLDR, the red light cameras actually read license plate numbers. So when they read the code it executed the command which dumped the entire database of saved information.So depending on how often they back it up, thats a lot of fines the city isn’t going to be able to collect. What a soldier. King. This is cool and all but WHY ARE WE CHEERING TFOR THE PERSON ENABLING DANGEROUS DRIVERS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME Red light cameras cause more accidents than they prevent (at least, this is true in my neck of the woods- here there are debates over removing them constantly for this reason, and many have been removed.) Basically, over time, the presence of the camera creates an issue where drivers who would typically go through at the tail end of the yellow light to avoid brake-checking the driver behind them *don’t do that* and instead slam on their brakes because the light would turn red while they’re in the intersection. The camera doesn’t care if you ran the light to avoid an accident behind the white line in the delay window before the cross traffic got their green. It’s a camera. It doesn’t understand those things. Technically, when you get a ticket for that reason, you can fight it. “The other street still had a red and if I stopped I would have caused a three car pile up, just watch the video!” Is a pretty solid argument. But not everyone knows how to fight a ticket, or has the time to do so. So you get people driving terribly at these lights because being in the intersection half a second too long could be the difference between affording groceries and gas, and not. Plus, often the cities/townships will hook these things up to lights with criminally short yellow lights– there have been a few investigations about that shit, around here, too. When the lights are that short, it encourages people to clump up and speed. And then they have to stop short. In my township, the intersection with the most accidents is the one with the camera, and it was *never* that bad until they installed it. Now people crash in the turn lanes constantly, trying to make that arrow. -- source link
