I hope you recorded it.
Forward the video to the Bus driver so he can give it to the police. Or give it to the police yourself (but it might have a better chance of generating a severe fine if the bus driver submits it).
Ticketing a car for a moving violation using camera evidence is against California state law.

Probably breaks some sort of decency laws...
(EDIT: For the record, the above was a joke: this sounds really... bizarre.)

Also for the record, I was not making a political point in either of my last two posts, nor was I directly coming down on any side" or another in the recent near-political arguments. Rather, I was commenting about a thought process Id had before reading FAWTL today that happened to be relevant (as it started with cars=royalty).

Weird, here a woman got a massive fine just on the word of a bus driver she had raced past while it had its flashers on. No video needed.

Yeah, like I said, here in Florida they have the red light photograph your license and you get a ticket in the mail like a horrible suprise gift. Weird that somewhere as progressive as California requires eye witness testimony.

How is that weird? The west coast is very much about personal rights and not getting into people's business, seems kind of fascist to constantly keep every public space under surveillance, especially for piddly s$~! like speeding.

Yeah the Phoenix area tried to install those red-light cameras once.
They lasted about two years before public outcry (at both their presence and their expenses) got the lot removed.
I've not seen a single one out here in Tennessee/Georgia either, but that might be because I stay out of downtown Chattanooga and otherwise don't go near any larger cities.

I believe I read a story about some guy down there who wore a gorilla mask while driving on the freeway to avoid paying the fine
Huh, that was an unexpected ninja delete.

I'm known for deleting posts, usually when the conversation has turned in a different direction, or if I get too personal, or sometimes both. :-D

My major problem is that they... don't work well. We got so many tickets in the Orlando area that weren't actually going through the red lights that it became too expensive to keep reversing all the tickets.

We have some red light cameras in California. They have some sort of exemption from the ban on ticketing moving violations with cameras, but I don't know why.

Maybe because it's a still-image photograph rather than a video?

Naked bike story!
Spoiler:Everyone should put "getting baked in Gasworks park in the Fremont neighborhood in Seattle on Summer Solstice" on their bucket list, you haven't lived until you've literally been surrounded by hundreds naked body painted hippies on bikes riding circles around you, and trust me, it's something best experienced baked.Or so I've heard.
This sounds like nightmare fodder even while I'm stone sober. It would only be worse while under the influence of something.
The two guys in Armor fighting it out in a clearing was weird enough, but then I saw a chick dressed like a Succubus (bat wings, bustier, demon horns) perched in a tree drinking a Starbucks coffee.
Seattle is the best city for people watching.

If you ever want to torture yourself, and have an appreciation for good food, Watch a review of McDonald's Cookie Maker on YouTube.
Pea Bear couldn't even make it halfway through before she had to leave "I'm going to be sick" she said, "but, wait! They're actually going to eat it!" I exclaimed, "That's Kisgusting!" said Tiny T-Rex (his 4 year old pronunciation of disgusting).

I personally would have more faith in computer driven cars than human driven cars.
Sure. Logically. And humanity is all about logical, until a hacker attack or a blue screen of death takes out a significant number of computer driven cars and kill more than a hundred people. After that, you won't find a politician willing to touch the subject in decades.

No computer is driving a car for me, i'll walk if it comes to that (i used to walk 4.5 miles to work, so its something easily done).
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
That's a chance I'm willing to take.
And it is why computer driven cars won't become mandatory. EVEN if the total number of deaths go down sharply with them.

So, does everyone have at least three pairs of shoes.
The General and I were having an animated discussion as to why I go thru shoes so quickly, I maintain it's not unusual to only have one pair of shoes at a time.
Edit: the General maintains that everyone has at least three pairs of shoes.

Also, finally got around to seeing Star Wars. Really enjoyed it.
Just got back myself. Seconded.
You really can't have too many shoes.
I am uncertain how anyone would function with fewer than three at the very minimum. You need running shoes, court shoes, dress shoes, boots, casual shoes, boat shoes, sandals, and slippers. And often you need them in a variety of different styles or colors depending on the outfit you wish to wear. I own 1 pair each of these except for dress shoes and boots which I own three pairs each of.
Maybe you need all those shoes. I need one pair of sneakers, and one pair of boots for when it is snowy/icy or really muddy. I have no use for anything else.You really can't have too many shoes.

No dress shoes at all?! What about formal occasions like church, weddings, graduation, or the like?
The three minimum would be casual shoes, dress shoes, and boots.

Black boots, blue boots, running shoes, wellies.

Work shoes (doubles as running shoes, because I run a lot at work anyway), regular shoes, winter shoes, dress shoes. May need to get some wellies for forest-walking in autumn/spring.

In other news, I've been humming the Star Wars theme since I left the cinema on Monday... Guess I liked it even more than I thought.
Which is to say that while I really, really liked it, it didn't have the knock-out effect that the first two did when I saw them the first time.

Do slippers count as shoes? If so, I have four pairs. If not, two. Boots, which I use for pretty much everything, and nice shoes, which I use for work and fancy occasions. I should probably own a pair of wellies too, but I don't go outside enough to justify them. :P
