Pandora music was hands down the hardest thing I had to cancel. They made me find links in fine print and had to use desktop mode on my phone.
I'm not who you think I am.

Wasn't that hard from an actual desktop.

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

They don’t have to be placed in front of a school, either. They can be within a quarter-mile radius.
Such a scam.
Basically they can put a camera pretty much anywhere and call it a school zone camera.

Not sure why you're upset. The comic you posted says it all (or at least mostly). As I've said over and over, these cameras have nothing whatsoever to do with safety. They have 100% to do with generating revenue to fund politicians' projects while claiming not to raise taxes.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Mine was a speed camera...

Although to be fair, that was right before the cameras were ruled unconstitutional so I never actually had to pay it.

There is literally a speed camera every few blocks in some areas of NYC.

And the cameras have no union bosses working on their behalf to protect their positions, if they don't produce the expected revenue, they are swiftly removed from their position!

Quote
The combination of traffic enforcement and Mayor's Court has provided 80% of Linndale's one million dollar annual budget, and underwritten its four full-time and ten part-time police officers

Oh the cruelty! How dare they kill the budget of this righteous village and the livelihood of its four full-time and ten part-time police officers!

Oh trust me. I know Linndale. #btdt.
But IIRC they were put in their place in recent years.
