I was cited for another car that ran a red light!!!

As shown in the pic, my vehicle is very much stopped at the light, for even more evidence I viewed a video of this all taking place.

There is an obvious error here. For such cases where the error is so obvious is should be very easy to call in and correct without any legal proceedings. For such obvious things I should not be inconvenience by your human error. I have the right to not be molested by government when I am in the course of my normal law abiding daily life.

We will see if any of the following resources will help: https://www.elpasotexas.gov/municipal-courts/red-light

THE MUNICIPAL COURT RED LIGHT ENFORCEMENT
"For questions and/or information, contact the El Paso Digital Automated Red Light Photo Enforcement Program Customer Service Center toll free at 1-(888) 610-3140, Monday-Friday between 8:00am and 5:00pm (Mountain Time). You may also view the video at the Customer Service Center located at 2211 E. Missouri, Suite E-235 El Paso, TX 79903 by appointment only. Call (888) 610-3140 to schedule an appointment (Monday-Friday, 8:00am-5:00pm Mountain Time)."

https://www.photonotice.com/Home/Faq "Every photo radar citation issued provides an opportunity for the driver to either pay the fine, request a hearing or if eligible attend traffic school. If the driver decides to request a hearing they have the opportunity to challenge the citation. Further, each citation mailed includes information on how to access the violation video, providing the driver with an opportunity to review the incident."

I could be upset if there an officer never reviewed this and just decided to issue a ticket, but I'm not upset with the police because an officer did view a vehicle in violation, however a 3rd party service provided the wrong info of the plate of the car involved. The only other explanation is that the officer really can't distinguish cars and cropped the picture himself but I have more faith in law enforcement who see thousands of cars on a daily basis.

https://www.photonotice.com/Home/Contact Customer Service "If you experience problems with this site, please contact the call center at: 1-877-847-2338"

Yes I am experiencing problems with this site (and with your service in general):
You say "The local law enforcement agency is the only entity that can determine if a citation is warranted. Redflex provides officers with secure, comprehensive evidence packages that offer the situational awareness needed to assess whether a ticket should be issued."

Is that right? Then who crops the pictures?... because the wrong licence was cropped I was accused of doing what another driver did. I should not have to go to any hearing since I was not even the one they law enforcement is intending to accuse. For such obvious things I should not be inconvenience by your human error. I do not expect perfection, but I expect that when human error enters into the system there be an easy and efficient way of reporting and correcting it without long proceedings.

Wow, nobody caught that???!!!!

I'm Trent and I'm a Morman!

6:15am -- Our Sincere Apologies to Juarez

Online magazine says our neighbor to the south is NOT world's murder capital .

For months now, we've been doggedly passing on news of the latest atrocities and body counts from Ciudad Juarez, in the apparently mistaken belief that the city just across the border from El Paso is the bloodiest city in the Americas, if not the world.

Now comes an editorial in the online Investor's Business Daily that asks "Quick, what's the murder capital of the world? Kabul? Juarez?"

No, according to IBD, it's Caracas, Venezuela.

Ever since Hugo Chavez became president in 1999, the right-leaning IBD editors say, "Venezuelan cities have become hellholes in which murder rates have more than quadrupled."

At 233 per 100,000, or one murder every 90 minutes, the rate in Caracas now tops that of every war zone in the world, according to an official National Statistics Institute study released Wednesday, IBD said.

"By contrast, the murder rate in cartel-haunted Juarez, Mexico, is 133 per 100,000, with Mexico's overall rate 8 per 100,000, about the same as Wichita, Kan.," according to the editorial. "Colombia, fighting a narcoterror war since 1964, has an overall rate of 37 per 100,000, slightly higher than Baltimore at 36.9. The overall U.S. rate is 5.4."

Monday, October 26, 2009 Harry Reid and litmus tests
Posted by Steve Rabey

Do you believe in God? Do you promise to follow him and forsake sin? And do you endorse God’s one-and-only approved stance on this latest piece of legislation? Then (and only then) may you be counted among the elect!

Many evangelicals have been using this approach toward equating political correctness with doctrinal orthodoxy for decades. It’s no surprise that Mormons are doing the same, as Thomas Burr of the Salt Lake Tribune reported in “Harry Reid: A Mormon in the middle.”

The Temple-recommend-carrying Reid is very active in his church, say fellow members in the Washington area. But that may come as a shock to some Mormon critics who contend that the Senate leader’s political stands put him at odds with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The latest round of religiously charged criticism came after Reid told gay rights groups in a private meeting that the LDS Church’s efforts to back the anti-gay marriage Proposition 8 in California was a waste of resources and hurt the faith’s missionary efforts.

Utah Republican Party Chairman Dave Hansen posted a news story on that subject on his Facebook page, prompting several conservatives to challenge Reid’s Mormon credentials.

Conservative activist and Utah blogger Holly Richardson said she found Reid’s comments disconcerting and doesn’t see how Reid’s far left political beliefs can align with the LDS Church.

“I just don’t get how his politics translate to somebody who has LDS beliefs,” Richardson says. “He’s an embarrassment to me as a Mormon.”

Reid, who converted as a college student and regularly attends services, has grown accustomed to the condemnation of conservative Mormons (who make up a majority of the Mormon faithful).

He recalls a time when his grandchildren were trick-or-treating at a local LDS ward event and came upon a poster featuring a picture of the Devil and Reid, and asking “Can you tell the difference?”

“I remember it,” Reid says when asked how he deals with the criticism, “but I try not to let people who do not represent the teachings that I have learned interfere with my basic beliefs.”

Burr gets quotes from the usual suspects (Pew’s John Green) but goes further and deeper by quoting church doctrine and examining recent practice:

The LDS Church declined comment for this story but pointed to its statement on relationships with government.

It says that elected officials who are LDS make their own decisions “and may not necessarily be in agreement with one another or even with a publicly stated church position.”

And the church has made efforts in the past to dispel the notion that it sides with conservative politics. In 1998, church General Authority Marlin Jensen stressed that good Mormons can also be good Democrats. The late James E. Faust, a Democrat and then a member of the First Presidency, the church’s top governing body, said it was in the church’s best interest to have a two-party system.

All faith groups wrestle with how to apply their beliefs to society and politics. Leon Wieseltier explored whether Judaism is essentially conservative or liberal in his Sept. 13 New York Times Book Review review of Norman Podhoretz’s Why Are Jews Liberal? I love how Wieseltier put it:

Judaism is not liberal and it is not conservative; it is Jewish.

So, is religion necessarily a “conservative” political force? Some are certain it is. Others are more cautious about espousing a one-size-fits-all link between doctrine and public policy, echoing the sentiments of J. B. Phillips (who wrote the classic book, Your God Is Too Small) or C. S. Lewis, who distinguished between “mere Christianity” and an adulterated form of faith he called “Christianity plus.”

Drink responsibly.... HA!!

Ancient Greek:
Oxus = "sharp"
Moros = "dull"

"Oxymoron" = a sharp dullness or a foolish wise...a self contradicting phrase.

Personally, I think that "drink responsibly" is an oxymoron just as much as "jumbo shrimp", "civil war", or "holy crap" are.

What is a DWI? Driving while intoxicated. (DID YOU NOT SEE THAT LAST PART!!) Here's a known fact: alcohol is a toxin. Simply put, by drinking people are intentionally poisoning themselves. Does that sound responsible? Are you treating your body responsibly if you eat a bit of rat poison on the weekend "just to loosen up"? NO, and neither is it possible to intoxicate oneself "responsibly" with other poisons.

Our bodies try for hours and hours to purge itself of the toxins of alcohol. If you are to be responsible (able to respond), to others, your environment, and even to your body (as in able to make quick, rational, and conscious decisions), you will not put toxins into your body that will impair your judgment.

I'm not MADD, I'm reasonable. There is nothing responsible about drinking.
Just a side note: I'd rather be an oxymormon = "sharp" "mormon" :) haha!



Here is an ad campaign that seems to think it is possible to drink "responsibly":

Dear Mr. Trenton Conyers-

After a rather lengthily review of your many astute and accomplished achievements during a most serendipitous and pulchritudinous venture of unequaled personal growth and maturity, it is with zealous proclamation and profound adoration I possess for your sterling character and with an abundance (is that a bunch of buns dancing around?) of heart felt admiration toward you and your many philanthropic acts of unquestionable generosity, that I do hereby bestow upon your chivalrous shoulders the highly coveted and prestigious award befitting a man of your impeccable fortitude, intellectual prowess, unflinching valor, and charismatic presence and bestowed only on a very few in possession of life’s intrinsic values of honor, loyalty and a hot Mrs. Smith apple pie, the “Uncle Lenski-three: at-a-boy – dang I’m proud of you – go get ‘em tigger award!!!”

That’s 130 words and just one correct grammar sentence!!!!
