Parent surrenders to government school oppression over hair cut.

"Reid Elementary School student Ethan Clos headed back to the classroom yesterday without the “cool” haircut that got him suspended last week.
His mom Keshia Castle complied with the school’s directive that her son have his Mohawk shaved off because it was a distraction to other students."

This is ridiculous. You must conform to the state or be punished. She'd have been better off taking him out of school anyway. They'd have done something even worse then.

Red light cameras power tremendous increase in speeding tickets in Dayton.

"The number of speeding tickets issued in Dayton increased nearly 1,400 percent to 58,325 since the city added speed cameras to some of its busiest streets two years ago.
A Dayton Daily News investigation found at a rate of 152 a day, or more than six per hour, the city’s 14 traffic cameras issued 55,676 speeding tickets in 2012.
Dayton police officers only wrote 2,649 speeding tickets in 2012, down about one-third since 2010 when the city issued 3,947 without speeding cameras.
The amount of tickets issued in Dayton is dramatically more than any other neighboring city. Kettering gave out 3,220 tickets to speeding motorists in 2012.
Police Chief Richard Biehl said the motivation behind the tickets is to promote safety, not collect money."

That's a fantastic amount of tickets and a fantastic amount of money. Collecting money is the goal, but nobody in the government is going to admit it.

The police chief plays down the abilities of their spy plane, as if the technology will stop there.
