I have neighborhood and my coverage when I've needed it has been fine. I only choose neighborhood cause it was the cheapest option even while I work 50 hours a week at a good paying job I wanted the cheapest option. It's a case by case basis cause most people I know that have it think it's fine and have similar experiences with the coverage being offered and a few people theres horror stories

I highly doubt that. My guess is that the kid's family owes some bad hombres money down there, and something was lost in translation to this naive administrator. I would believe the kid. Plenty of times the people you owe money to have ways of getting to your loved ones back home.

The Eddy. I think you would want to make a reservation for Saturday night

Gracie's is not open at 10 unfortunately.

Yeah an assistant principal is living in an ivory tower and the term coyote is just common knowledge. /s because you’re a dunce.

OP falls under the category of “Small potatoes”. Pretty sure nothing would come of it

Go to a highschool sporting event. There's lots of hockey games in general at the ice rink. Or Bryant. If your into that kind of games.

You are confusing "child safety" with "revenue collection" No one cares about the Childrens safety. It's 100% about extorting money from citizens. Flashing warning signs that say "you are about to be extorted" don't help you collect money from your fellow man.

The thing that bothers me, in P-tuck it on mineral spring by Slater elementary, the light will be flashing on a Saturday afternoon at 4pm during the summer. Not sure if the light activates the cameras to activate lower speeds or not, but there are no children around, it’s not a school day, and it’s not the school year. Law abiders like me will slow to 20, and the people behind me get pissed. It happens in other areas too, flashing light on a Sunday afternoon, or 8pm on a Monday.

The overlap of pro camera folks with the “if you don’t do anything wrong you don’t have to worry about the cops” is pretty high.

Camera systems are there because they earn money and it wouldn’t be surprising that someone in the pipeline that approved and purchased them is getting a nice kickback over it as well.

The people saying "slow down" would probably be happy to know that your elected politician sold you out for a measly 12.5% of whatever fine is incurred, as the state takes another 12.5% and the company that owns the camera gets to run off with 75% of that money. It has nothing to do with the safety of children, because if thats the case then why are there cameras at the border of EP and Seekonk? Or on Roger Williams/North Broadway? There's not even a school near there. Getting a ticket from a camera is the exact same thing as if I saw you litter and I sent a pic to the police to tattle on you and they sent you a ticket for it.

I think that, deep down, most people don't actually oppose UHC...but most politicians with the power to take it beyond talking points realize that implementation will be the biggest shit show seen, and will probably get axed by the next administration. And Obama's team had insurance lobbyists to help them crib Romneycare into a national mandate, but there's not really a working US model of UHC to expand like that.

Sucker!

If you were at 27, you were over the urban speed limit under state law.

Now, you can argue that it’s unreasonable, but you can’t argue you weren’t speeding.

If it takes a fine to get people to follow the surface street speed limits, I’m okay with it. People in this state drive WAY over the urban speed limit all the time, which is why there are so many hit-and-run accidents in town.

It’s easy to avoid getting a ticket. Follow the state speed limit on urban surface roads (25 MPH) and the school signs are easy to see. I’ve never known anyone doing 25 getting a school zone ticket — they’re usually 10 miles over the urban surface street speed limit.

It’s not uncommon to get people illegally passing me on surface streets when I’m doing 25 and they want to blast by at 40. I have zero sympathy for such unsafe driving.

Rhode Island has a state health instance mandate, so if you click 'no,' then unfortunately you have to pay. However, if you click 'yes,' you are not required to prove it (unless audited).

It’s never been about safety it’s always been about profit. In 2020 the camera outside McCoy stadium made $376,000 in fines and schools were completely closed due to Covid.

EP/Pawtucket are the biggest grifters in this game and they outsource the billing to Massachusetts. Per City of Pawtucket nobody in Rhode Island wanted the billing work which I also believe is a lie.

The best case scenario is there is no coyote and this is just an effort to cover a gambling debt or something. Yikes.

The restaurant inside dean hotel. Quiet and lowkey but delicious food and warm ambiance

>"We have a student who came to America with 'Coyote,' which is a group that helps people," read the email from Assistant Principal Stefani Harvey. "This group gives you a time frame to make a payment of $5,000 to those, who bring them to the states."

>The Department of Justice defines coyotes as "human smugglers."

The fucking disconnect and blissful ignorance these staff must live in behind their ivory towers. Coyotes are not good people. They are human traffickers, and harm people, not help them, often holding other family members hostage until payment is made.

Yes!! I know people just get downvoted complaining about the cameras ("well you were going over the speed limit so you got what you deserved!") but I drove through a school zone during the school day a few weeks back, guess I've never driven there since the cameras were installed. Was going to a temp job. I went back home during the day to take out my dog, and drove back. I realized later I the bright lights I saw must've been me getting a ticket - both times I went there. I was going 27mph when I looked the second time.

I realized later the speed limit sign was on the pole just as you turn, but realistically no one would look up and to the right while turning right onto a street, but I'm sure the judge you'd contest with wouldn't care. The sign is not posted in an easily viewable location except for folks already on the road driving straight.

Got up early, spent half the day at this job, and in the end I'll pay more than I made. I really disagree with folks who think it's a perfectly reasonable situation. We can be comfortable preaching about driving in a neighborhood where we know every side street and one-way, but I guarantee if you traveled to another city where you got multiple $50 tickets driving 27mph on a wide road with no traffic and no pedestrians, the sanctimonious displays would get toned down.

It also drives me crazy that Providence enjoys its liberal reputation but we charge a software engineer and a house cleaner a wildly different percentage of daily income for driving 25mph (or whatever the threshold is) or crossing a red light line 0.1 seconds late. We can have safety without usury, and Providence continues to do a somewhat poor job (admittedly, the city is diverse even in its safety measures across neighborhoods, and I'm speaking about the areas I know).

So that got me thinking about a comparable situation. Ideally we want safety for citizens, pedestrians, and drivers. I live near an actual dangerous intersection, and over the years probably witnessed a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of auto damage to unsuspecting drivers outside, quite a few injuries, and some property damage to houses, too. I've been lucky to not have seen a death yet, but one will certainly happen here with time. Notified City Council, written repeatedly, but they've done nothing to make the intersection safer. I'm confident in saying more people have been injured here than in front of any of the schools before they had cameras. Safety is not the true priority.
