“The Trump administration may soon reduce highway robbery by 95% in Washington, DC. The Big Apple needs the same silver bullet because the city’s drivers could speedily be victimized by the biggest bureaucratic looting spree of the century. Trump’s Transportation Department proposes to ‘prohibit the operation of automated traffic camera enforcement in the District of Columbia,’ which would ban red-light, speed and stop-sign cameras. Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) is attaching a similar provision to congressional transportation legislation. The dispute over red-light and speed cameras goes to the heart of the question of how much harm politicians are entitled to inflict while they shake money out of citizens’ pockets.” (01/26/26)
