War On Driving

#9 Michael “Big Brother” Bloomberg calls for a “camera on every street corner.” Bloomberg chastised anyone in Albany that might stand in his way of putting up ACS (Affiliated Computer Services), which is Xerox owned, scam cams all over New York City. He needs state legislature to back him, which is why Bloomberg had such strong words directed at Albany. So far Bloomberg hasn’t had his way, but this is another story that has legs to bring it in to 2012.

Michael “Big Brother” Bloomberg Blasted in Media, Online

When you declare war on motorists’ rights in your city, you’d better be ready to reap the whirlwind. Michael Bloomberg’s ridiculous statements about wanting “a camera on every street corner” are not earning him any praise in the news media.

If he continues to push this agenda, don’t be surprised to see the New York based parent company of his city’s red light camera provider, Xerox, face a major boycott of their products and services. 

Last year, Xerox acquired Affiliated Computer Services, or ACS, for $6.4 Billion. ACS is the sole provider of red light cameras in New York City.

Here’s the latest example of the backlash against Bloomberg:

Big Brother Bloomberg
Traffic cameras have no place in a free society.

Charles W Cooke

August 25th, 2011

In keeping with that very modern desire to find complex solutions to problems that don’t exist, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg expressed his desire on Monday to put cameras on “every corner of the city” to enforce observance of red lights and, eventually perhaps, speed limits.

And so, in the same year that the Los Angeles City Council considered the evidence from its trial run and unanimously voted to do away with L.A.’s camera system, explaining bluntly that the “program did not work as anticipated,” Mayor Bloomberg is blithely seeking to expand New York’s camera network.

Mayor Bloomberg: NYC Should Have Cameras at Every Intersection

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has just declared war on his city’s drivers and the state legislature.

In true nanny-statist style, Bloomberg advocates not only using dangerous red light scameras to make his intersections more profitable in the name of “safety,” but also wants to “embarrass” drivers who are caught in what’s called the dilemma zone. If Bloomberg gets his way, they will all “have their pictures published in the newspapers”

He also called out the state legislature in Albany for acting as a roadblock to his Big Brother master plan for the city.

It’s obvious to commuters in NYC that many intersections are poorly designed and have horrible signal timing. Bloomberg is clearly just looking for an excuse to allow the problem to continue and cash in on this revenue generating scheme.

New Yorkers haven’t really woken up to the tactics being used against them to extract their cash, to the tune of $52 Million/year, but you can bet they will when Bloomberg muscles his way into adding 50% more red light cameras, with speed cameras on the way.

It’s only a matter of time before the backlash hits New York just as it has in AZ, CA, WA, MO, OH, TX, FL and GA.
