12. No, Ducky, admit it. Your arguments are specious.

Case in point. Here in my city stoplight cameras were installed and tickets issued based on photo evidence of running stop lights. Collisions at major intersections dropped 30% in a few months. Using the same "logic" of your arguments (won't prevent all collisions and not enforceable because the County would not impound cars with outstanding stoplight tickets) the law was repealed.

Cameras were already paid for and the revenue from enforcement paid for maintenance and added to city coffers. But that didn't make any difference to the batshit crazy teabagger city council. Like you they adhered to their own special kind of "logic".
