^^^ THIS! ^^^

I saw this TWICE on Sunday on a drive to St Mary’s County very early in the morning. Driving down Route 5, approaching a green light in the predawn darkness, it suddenly turned yellow then red just as I approached it. No other traffic around to have triggered the sensor, it changed as I approached it. I even thought about trying to beat the red, but I knew I wouldn’t be fast enough by at least 3 seconds. So I waited on the light to cycle and moved on.  Leaving the other side of town (Mechanicsville, MD) the same exact thing happened. Green light turned yellow then red as I was approaching, just soon enough that it would’ve been tempting to run it. No other traffic around. Not a car anywhere. Sitting there, waiting on the light to change, I look over to the shopping center parking lot to my right. There he was - a St Mary’s County Sheriff patrol car. Setting people up for red light tickets.

F***ing cops.

It’s real. [/quote]
