JRL's post brought to you by the "I am being paid to post negatively about Healy" foundation.

This election cant come quick enough. No matter what the subject is, this guy makes it about Healy. We get it, go away.

I think Healy is doing a crap job but the difference between you and me is I am not getting paid to say that. Prove me wrong. Go talk about Hamilton Park, or the cats being dumped. Anything but Healy and maybe the people here will take you seriously. Right now you are as see-through as glass.

Just go away.

Next the need to drop that Charles Hack. That guy really lives up to his name.

Will bitching about it on this forum change anything?
NO

Are you accomplishing anything other than annoying people on here with your obvious schilling?
NO

Does anyone care what you have to say?
NO

Will you still post here after the election?
NO

Do you care about anything in Jersey City besides ripping on the mayor?
NO

Hippo Crates! Ha! I miss that little gem!

They should combine the dog run and the basketball courts but not require the owners to pick up the poop. That way, less basketball at night, less poop on the street.

The best place to send your story is a blog called the Consumerist. They deal with shady stuff like this all the time and usually get the word out pretty quick.

Yes. Its all Healy's fault.

Yes. Its all Healy's fault.

The VIP area was not worth it at all. You got to sit in bleachers and got access to a bathroom no one else but VIP people could use.

The fact is, not every minority has something to hide, as you seem to be implying. If they aren't doing anything wrong, than what is the difference if they are black, asian, white etc? You see how YOU are racial profiling? Assuming that every minority has something to hide? If you get pulled over and you aren't breaking the law, black or white, they let you go. You can go on complaining that racial profiling happens, but the fact is, in a city with 75% minorities, there is a 3 in 4 chance you will be pulling a minority over in Newark. Should the cops just not patrol Newark at all? Enough of this PC garbage.

You honestly do not see that YOU are racially profiling?

I disagree with the checkpoint but how the hell is it racial profiling? Aren't you guilty of what you are trying to accuse icechute of? Only minorities live in that area?

Please explain.

Just go away JRL. We get it. YOU just keep embarrassing the citizens of Jersey City by assuming we are stupid.

ripple,

Have you actually seen the people who shop there? Or been living here very long? Those Bollards are the only thing keeping the carts from being on every corner, in the possession of every bum or just plain littered around our neighborhoods. Pathmark should never get rid of them. Need I bring up BJs?

Interesting article about a Maryland red light camera:

Motorists Seeing Red
over Red Light Cameras


Roby Chavez
New Carrolton, Md. - The town of New Carrolton's new mobile red light cameras are snapping up pictures like the paparazzi and motorists are calling the cameras out.
Danielle King got two tickets and says she's been wrongly accused. "I got caught by one up there," says King referring to the cameras along route 450.

Motorists complain they are being wrongly accused. King says," I think they need to go away. I just think they are unfair. They need to go away."

Fox 5 camera's stood at one intersection near 85th Avenue and caught the camera popping off like popcorn.
75 dollar citations. One motorist shared his ticket.
He got cited in his white van, but a closer look at the ticket shows the vehicle is at a complete stop. Complaints are pouring in.

AAA Mid-Atlantic's John Townsend says it appears drivers are getting ticketed; not for running the red light, but for stopping over the white line.

Townsend blasted the camera saying, "This is the most egregious one we've seen. It is so beyond the pale. It not only violated the spirit of the law it violates the letter of the law. It may be illegal in the state of Maryland. "

During a short period, the camera flashs continually went off when cars were at a complete stop. We asked one motorist, "Did you go past the red light." The unidentified driver said, "no I didn't, I'm still stopped here at the red light. If I went thru then you wouldn't be talking to me know. The camera went off. So am I going to get a ticket? Oh no. "

Townsend said, "These people legally stopped for a red light, but they ventured into this box and they consider that technically to be red light running and it's not. It smacks of I got you; a game just for money"

As the camera snapped another picture, we asked another motorist, "Do you realize you just got a red light ticket. The unidentified woman said, "You've got to be kidding. You are kidding. Did you pass the red light? No!"

Some say it's not just a camera, but a cash cow--snapping up photos of unsuspecting motorist.
Townsend said many motorists don't even contest the tickets, in fact one woman confirmed that saying; "if I got it I wouldn't fight it no. If the camera is set to do it that way I just have to pay the ticket.

Townsend admits he's one of those recently ticketed, but he fought it.

Fox 5 made an effort to talk with the New Carrollton Police Department and the city about the issue.
The chief said he'll answer questions during office hours.
Triple A says they've received numerous complaints from several cities using the mobile red light cameras along the Route 450 corridor; including Bladensburg and Riverdale.

Agreed. That Charles Hack really lives up to his name. Its no wonder the paper is going under.

Wild,

If you bitch enough, they will send that tech back. I have done it, you just need to get the right person on the line.

The Lamp Post is a good place for a burger and a beer.

Thank god Frank M isn't running animal control. Although from the sound of it, he might fit right in.

Congrat on getting your cat back. I'm glad a story with a happy ending can shed light on the idiots who run this city.

For the money, you can't beat 2nd street deli. Best deal in JC.

I think you have an agenda and that its clear to anyone paying attention.

Dude,

You are a broken record. Are a shill for Healy's opponent or you have been personally wronged by Healy? Seriously, what is your issue?

If you are a shill, don't be so transparent. 37 posts and all of them are the same. Post in a few threads and don't mention Healy or anyone else in government.

Hudson sheriff warns about stimulus check scam

by Jersey Journal

Tuesday February 24, 2009, 4:10 AM

Hudson County Sheriff Juan Perez is warning that if that no-strings attached offer of $7,000 seems too good to be true, that's because it is.

There's a new scam in which a mailer offers residents a "secondary stimulus check'' for $7,000, he said.

Learn the details in today's Jersey Journal.

I tried asking them about this through their website. They gave a canned response that didn't even begin to answer my question. Those PATH assholes don't give one iota about what we think.

I know your relationship is strained, but you could try asking them first. Even if you get laughed at, at least you tried before involving the police. If you haven't noticed, police tend to not care about quality of life crimes (unless they occur at Carmine's).

Mississippi state House votes 117-3 to ban red light and speed cameras. Public protest against photo ticketing grows in Maryland and Missouri.

A near-unanimous Mississippi state House of Representatives voted Wednesday to ban red light cameras and speed cameras while anti-camera citizen protest movements gathered steam in other parts of the country. Mississippi state Representative Edward Blackmon, Jr. (D-Canton) inadvertently kicked off the effort when he introduced a measure designed to give legislative approval to the use of photo enforcement so long as ticket records were not shared with insurance companies. Blackmon's proposal was a clever way to encourage the city councils of Columbus, Jackson, McComb, Natchez, Southaven and Tupelo, all of which have approved red light camera ordinances, in the guise of placing limitations on automated ticketing machines.

The state House Judiciary Committee would have none of it. The panel rewrote Blackmon's measure to ban not just the reporting of photo tickets to insurance companies, but also the issuance a photo ticket for any offense other than a toll violation.

"A civil or criminal traffic citation may not be issued as the result of the use of automated recording equipment on state, county or municipal highways, roads and streets, and any evidence obtained from such use shall not be reported to the Department of Public Safety for any purpose, to any person or entity for the use on any credit report or to any insurance company for insurance purposes," House Bill 1568 now states.

Blackmon was one of only three House members who voted against the revised legislation which now heads to the state Senate for its consideration.

In the state of Missouri, a group of concerned Kansas City residents gathered this weekend to protest red light cameras. The event took place at the location of the city's first red light camera which is to be activated later this week. The citizens' group Liberty Restoration Project insisted that red light cameras increase accidents (view studies) and urged passersby to support Senate Bill 211, a measure that would ban all photo ticketing (view details). The legislation will be considered in a state Senate hearing this week.

At the same time in Maryland, a group of citizens gathered on Connecticut Avenue in Chevy Chase, just over the border from Washington, DC, to protest at the site of a notorious speed camera trap. Members of the newly formed DC.CameraFraud.com pointed out that the speed cameras were located on a six-lane boulevard -- not a school zone or residential neighborhood as required by state law -- and that the cameras themselves were hidden behind trees and signs. The group hopes to raise awareness in the Washington, DC metropolitan area as Virginia municipalities begin to re-install red light cameras, the District adds new speed cameras and the Maryland legislature contemplates using photo radar on freeways for the first time.

If you think the cops can't tell who it is if you use that, I have a bridge you may be interested in.

I, for one, would cast my vote for JRL. If only he was running for elected office. I would donate not only time, but money, to his campaign.

So to you JRL I say. This city needs you! Run for office!

You also missed the point.
