Breaking the law applies to everyone

To those who cannot go without breaking the law, now is your chance to do something about it. The red light camera ban didn't make it this year, so you have another year to do something about it. You can start by contacting your state legislators and have them add this to the proposed bill.
First, do away with city police forces and city jails. After all, like the traffic cameras, they infringe on your rights. Do the same with county sheriffs and jails, and then the highway patrol and state prisons.
Do away with law enforcement and you can break all the laws.
Just think of the money we can save the cities, counties and state by not having to pay law enforcement and jail and prison personnel. We can use that money for road improvements. Plus, you won't have to worry about getting caught breaking the law.
Just think about all those people in jail who will be glad to get out - the murderers, rapists and such. By putting them in prison, we broke their right to do what they want. Just like you who get caught speeding and running red lights.
