    Funny that Texas allows this but outlawed redlight cameras on the grounds of “you can’t face your accuser in court.”

      work; the american federal gov’t is funneling tons of money into texas and every day i get at least one email from a recruiter to move back to texas for a job and it’s at a considerably higher frequency than california.

          DON’T DO IT!!!

          i took the bait and moved away from san francisco back in 2019 because austin was literally offering double my highest salary and it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life i’ve ever made.

          there’s really good reasons why they have to bribe people to move there w money.

          if you find that you must move, chose houston or dallas; houston is better, but not by much.

    30 years ago, we could buy these things that would supposedly block radar speed readers. I wonder if they are still around and if they would work on readers and the flock stuff in general.

      You can use various things to obscure a license plate from Flock cameras, but it’s illegal to varying degrees in several states, no doubt with more on the way.

        Florida just passed a law stating you can’t have any license plate frames covering any portion of the plate. They said it was so officers could read it better… Buy we all know what its really for.

      Sadly pretty much any kind of active signal jamming is highly illegal in the USA. Iirc it’s a federal crime too.
