In my town they have cameras on the traffic lights. to catch people running red lights or lighting joints or any other number of things they can get you for. Seat belts are my pet peeve. I live in a state where wearing a seat belt is mandatory in a 6000 truck but, helmets are optional for motorcycles.
You still here ?
Couple weeks ago I was riding in a car with someone that ran the stop light. He laughed about there was no cop there so he in effect "pulled off" running that light.
2 weeks later he got a notice in the mail complete with a picture of his license plate, date,time and location.
As a lover of logic, do you think my friend "pulled off" running that traffic light.
Would you agree Mr Cohen finds himself in the same quandary as my friend ?
Short term (seemingly your reference of choice) win versus long term price
Besides, logic really isn't the word or term you were looking for.
Take a minute ...
