Watching Cavalier Johnson is like watching the Saturday cartoons. It's funny, but really awful humor.
- Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson is reviving a push to use traffic cameras to catch bad drivers. However, state law does not allow it.
"We need to arm ourselves with every available tool to make our roads safer," Johnson said.
Johnson and County Executive David Crowley are taking the lead on an old pitch. They want the state to allow red-light and speed cameras to snap photos of license plates – and mail tickets to the vehicle's registered owner....
The camera company takes a big cut of the money collected. The rest goes to the City which, as we all know, is still very close to bankrupt despite its ultra-mega-sales-tax haul. The camera company convinced Johnson that the City would have more gelt than Croesus if only the cameras were everywhere.
If only.
As a sagacious State Leggie pointed out, the perps who drive recklessly are usually in stolen cars, don't have a driver's license, don't have insurance, and don't pay attention to court summonses in the mail.
Johnson thinks you're stupider than he is. Don't be that guy.
