I worked at a service station in Aurora during high school  that did
vehicle inspections until they were done away with. After the state
stopped requiring them in favor of an emissions inspection you saw a
lot of cars on the road that should not have been, no brake lights,
shattered windshields, etc.

I live in Farmers Branch, TX now and I wish we had the photo cop in
our town. At the intersection right down the street there have been
three instances in the last two weeks were something told me to not go
on green when the light changed. Sure enough all three times some
idiot came sailing through the red light at about 60mph. Only a gut
feeling kept me alive. This is a regular occurrence in the DFW area
and I for one would love to see those fools get ticketed or have their
license revoked for multiple crimes.
