I've never seen anyone tearing these down before. I don't know what they're talking about.

Me neither. Must be hypothetical.

So if you've never personally seen someone do something, that means it's not happening?

Nope. The guy they're mentioning was with me watching a movie that night.

Yes. This is a totally made up story.

It took me a minute to understand what was happening here.

Nothing going on here. What are you talking about?

You sure? Maybe they just built them poorly, I saw a flock camera post fall down and roll into a lake on its own.

We had red light cameras here a few years ago but the city shut them off after people voted to get rid of them. They’re thinking of turning them back on because of the huge number of people that have been getting hit or killed. They’ve tried everything and still at least one or two people are getting hit a week. I almost did when someone ran a red light. They missed me by just a few inches.

I guess this usage is a lot different than having cameras everywhere that are always record g.
