I'm sure glad we have these robocop traffic light cameras to free up cops for more dangerous work such as stopping people on their bikes.
It would be nice if we could get all the Maria Shrivers ticketed instead of worrying about the damage a bicyclist might cause. I mean, we've already heard from the cyclist-haters who are going to run the bikes of of the roads. I can't believe that bicycles are uch a high priority. "
