For us in PA/ NJ the trip to Wildwood or Atlantic City NJ, can be made without tolls, by using NJ 322 east. Unfortunately, the Town of Folsom NJ, which more or less straddles route 322 is a notorious speed trap,
Yes lets do use a little common sense. Tools do not hurt people. The way they use the tool does. People are making the very same claim with guns control. Everyone is not as irresponsible as we are being treated to be. But yet you say use common sense, and I say how can we use common sense when we are not given the opportunity by regulation. People don't get fired for having or wearing tools in the workplace, they get fired for how they use them. Common sense here implies the use of Google Glass is safer and an all-in-one tool to replace several gadgets that are further away from your line of vision. In fact with a little modification the dash could be streamed into a HUD using Google Glass, which would allow you to keep your eyes aligned with the road.
The only way I could stand behind that line of thought, would be to to forbid talking or listening while driving.
That is not true! Possibly true in most cases but not all. Besides this is Google Glass in question not Cell Phones. Google Glass would be the equivalent to wearing an ear piece, which is legal and should not be compared to Cell Phone legality issues.
Which is what the ticket should have been all about. Google Glasses are irrelevant in this case against the regulation in which they are being prohibited and the officer knew that when the ticket was written.
With the cop making the accusation he would have to prove it was on not the other way around. The cop added that in for no reason because there is no way he could know she had it on and was using it at all, now the speeding yea the ticket for that is fine.
Besides the safest place for the $1600 dollar device is wearing it. I'm sure if I was to buy them, I'd want to keep them safe as possible. What it boils down to is the cop sees an easy pay check when he spots someone wearing Google Glasses. I'm questioning whether or not she would have been pulled over, if she had not been wearing Google Glass. I've not lived life in California, but I have lived in the fast lane a few years. I was once traveling at a higher rate of speed than posted with an officer as one of the traveling companions. My only complaint was waiting several miles and pulling me over after I had reached my offramp and decided to get off the Interstate. The ***** didn't want me as long as I was on the Interstate, and that made the citation wrong.
People drive like that in Canada as well, drives one crazy if you try to actually follow the speed limit (tickets are expensive!). First they pass you like they are drafting you in F1 and passing on the stright, then when they see the radar the brakes slam on nearly causing rear-ends as they drive so close together, then they go way, way below the speed limit (so now they are holding me up, must be that guilty conscience), until they get past, then its go, go go.
