The Rhome Nazi Cam . . .

. . . is out this morning. It's on the south end of town trying to catch speeders heading southbound into Fort Worth. (Admittedly, the swatstika is a little over the top. But this policy drives me insane.)

that is a good name for that damn camra. Is that the A-team van that is parked next to it?

What galls me is the way they handle tickets if the registered owner wasn't the one driving.

The owner either has to rat out the driver -- or pay the ticket even though he's not guilty.

Can they legally do that? Can they make a spouse identify his or her spouse?

And how can they fine somebody who wasn't the guilty person?

I know they can do it on red-light infractions, but this is a genuine speeding ticket.

What ever happened to the redneck who said: "BY GAWD I'll shoot that somebitch with a deer rifle"?

In the mean time,why don't we just put a mailbox over it and it won't be long til a truck load of teenagers bashes it to smithereens with a baseball bat.

Drama Queen. lol Er, I mean "King." It's not nice to call Barry "gay."

That camera is out there EVERY weekday morning. I work in Grapevine and live in Decatur. Thus, I get to see it Monday thru Friday. I do not know about Saturday & Sunday.

On my return trip, it's out there about 50% of the time.

OK. You finally found something to offend me. The swastika is more than just in poor taste.

It is out there EVERY morning M-F. I drive from Decatur to Grapevine every day and that van and/or just the equipment is out.

When I return home from work, it is out there about 50% of the time.

Is there anyone that reads this blog that can rationally explain why they should have the right to speed whenever and wherever they want? What other laws should we do away with because a group of people want the freedom to engage in an activity that is currently illegal (and, like speeding, can hurt someone innocent) There is a way to make the cameras disappear. All you have to do is obey the law.

10:44 Go back to work the owners of taco time will fire you for not working while on the clock.

Speeding and invasion of privacy are 2 different things! Cops on the beat deter speeding, not cameras. Cameras didnt stop terrorists on 9/11 at Boston and Dulles.
Rhome needs a speed camera like Newark needs a pro hockey team!

Uh Oh...sounds like the SCC (Subway Crapper Cam) might be moved to Taco Time! For more clarification, see the last topic on Rhome for more details!

9:11am: If you plead not guilty, THEY will have to prove it was YOU driving, rather than YOU having to prove the opposite. Presumption of innocence!

I am very curious to see how they will go about doing that. My guess is that they are just going after the "low hanging fruit" (i.e., people who will just plead guilty and pay the fine).

Dont degrade the A Team (specifically Mr.T) he was a good role model and would not approve. He told kids to be good, do good things and drink their Milk!

10:44: I propose that we install cameras in your home and your car and have them monitored 24/7 by Rhome PD. That way, in case you do anything illegal, Rhome PD can deter you from harming yourself or someone innocent.

Until vehicles can be held responsible for what a vehicle does on the road RATHER than the operator I think it is TRULY idiotic for Rhome to take pictures of speeding autos.

"The Rhome Nazi Cam" just adds to the GROWING list of MORONIC decisions made by the LEADERSHIP of Rhome.

The Nazi flag no more offends me than does the Confederate Battle flag or the Christian Cross flags of the Crusades. It is just ANOTHER symbol of a LOSING team that wreaked havoc on innocent humans in a failed ATTEMPT to ENFORCE their group's agenda.

I will start a personal boycot of wise liquors since it falls deep in the heart of naziville.

My "end the camera bitchin' with McKenzie Kitchen" Mayoral candidate bumper sticker over the front plate sure saves me a lotta cash!

I doubt the guy that owns Wise Liqour likes the camera. You should see the funny posters he has in his store.

You say that now mzchief wait till the rhome stormtroopers drag you butt out of bed and throw you in the ovens of taco time. while lorance is raising the nazi flag over your house. then we will see how many tree's you want to hug.

Newark would most likely be the first pro hockey team in which the hockey team collectively had more teeth than the citizens of the town!

Where is the safety factor when you pass the camera going 85 and continue going 85 all the way to Ft.Worth?

Hey ! Back of Wise Liquor . It's the only way I can lure hot ladies to my pad. A couple of drinks and they think I'm Mel Gibson.

If Rhome is looking for a goalie for its hockey team, please let me know where to send my cv. They better have hot cheerleaders.

Anonymous said...

pseudonym...now you know that the Newark folk will not know what to do with a CV, you better just fill out an application! I hear they are going to import their cheeleeders from Boyd and Keeter though!

Pseudonym said...

Don't care where the babes come from. They just got to be hot.

Anonymous said...

The only way to get hot babes from Boyd and Keeter is to put them in the oven!

To anonyNOTHING 1:05...
THAT was sooooooo HARSH but TRULY hysterically FUNNY.

*StillLOLHysterically*

Pseudonym said...

Alas I am geographically challenged since I have no clue where Boyd and Keeter are. However, the idea of using shake and bake on cheerleaders is not very appealing. The Cowboys aren't using their cheerleaders at the moment. I understand the Bears are representing the NFC. Maybe a deal can be worked out.

Would it be so wrong to tie MZCHIEF and a mailbox to the camera before we send the truck load of teenagers with baseball bats? Just asking.

Is Rhome still running the regular police force? Everytime I drive by that police department I wonder if they are ever at force. There are too many police cars just sitting there. It seems like they never move! How many officers does Rhome have anyway? Do they need all those cars?

for anon 8:05 if you will pay attention several of those care belong to other agencies, wise county does not let there cares leave the county so the deputies who live out side the county park their cars there and also there is one from ft worth parked there alot, as for officers rhome has 7 full time officers and some reserves
