There always was something comforting about a half box of room temp Crugnale's on top of the fridge during those early hangover mornings.

I like the kind that are in the river behind the bike path at Slater Park. They taste like pennies but they're free, even if DEM tells you you're "under arrest".

A big taco sounds fantastic right about now

I would also like to point out that speed cameras are only on M-F during certain hours. Red light cameras are running constantly. You will not get a ticket for speeding in a school zone on a Saturday unless you're seen doing so by a cop.

Thresholds for these cameras vary, if im not mistaken for 20mph zones there isn't any enforcement until 30mph and above. Ive set my cruise control to 29 and haven't been ticketed. Bob DaSilva originally ordered the threshold be lowered to just 6 mph over the posted speed limit and was quickly informed that he doesn't make the rules.

You cannot fight a camera ticket though it says you may dispute it on the back. Basically your only respite is if you can prove that you were not the driver of the vehicle when the infraction was committed, in which case you both have to appear at a hearing and somebody still gets stuck with a $50-$85 bill. You can not use a good driving statute to dismiss the charges because it's a civil penalty, not a charge. The charge of speeding through a school zone will never appear on any record. Failure to pay these fines may result in the charge going to a collections department, however im not entirely sure EP or Pawtucket even have a collections department.

Shouldn't the burden of proof be on the municipality? Or maybe the camera company? Prove to me im the one speeding, I shouldn't have to self incriminate and agree to pay your fines. Its a tax, just like those tolls that were just found to be unconstitutional. Wait and see who gets to pay for those!

I mean as stupid as it sounds that would almost make more sense and would be better than some Swedish company that manufactures the cameras snitching me out. Litterbugs -should- be fined but just about everybody I've ever met in my entire life goes at the very least 1 mile over the speed limit, which by definition is speeding.

The people saying "slow down" would probably be happy to know that your elected politician sold you out for a measly 12.5% of whatever fine is incurred, as the state takes another 12.5% and the company that owns the camera gets to run off with 75% of that money. It has nothing to do with the safety of children, because if thats the case then why are there cameras at the border of EP and Seekonk? Or on Roger Williams/North Broadway? There's not even a school near there. Getting a ticket from a camera is the exact same thing as if I saw you litter and I sent a pic to the police to tattle on you and they sent you a ticket for it.

Why are people downvoting the invocation and blessing of our lord?? I wasn't being sarcastic im genuinely thankful for this child of God

We're all out of mediums, are you okay if we put it in a large?

Id really like to step on that groundhog one or two hundred times

I think McDs still has the green mountain for you real coffee snobs out there!

Man I thought this as soon as I opened it, if I were here stoned I'd probably end up on the floor hyperventilating from laughter. This guy rules.
