The best way to increase red light compliance is to increase Yellow light times.
But better compliance means fewer tickets and and less cash from Red-Light cameras.
So they shorten Yellow times so more drivers can't stop in time.
And people die in the resulting crashes.
Whoever set 3 sec. Yellow times has committed felony negligent homicide.
The accident videos are not available.
That's tampering with evidence.

"That leaves us Christopher Garvey, whose campaign website deserves
attention, with his welcome disconnection from this Suffolk rogues’
gallery. The cancer in county law enforcement and the upper echelons of
county government well serves to justify his election. The voters have
no viable alternative. Just as they did in the magnificent result of the
GOP primary of Lawrence Zacarese for sheriff, the voters just might
save the day in the county DA’s election this Nov. 7."

I’ve
known Chris for 35 years and while I have great respect for both
Commissioner Sini and Ray Perini, both come with far more baggage than
this office can afford.
Chris is a breath of fresh air. Not a politician though he runs often on the Libertarian line, He is erudite urbane and brilliant!
Chris will get the focus off victimless crimes and be an able co-prosecutor with the federal authorities. Chris Garvey will root out crime, focus on gang violence and cut off lines of their funds. He has innovative ideas on how to reduce Suffolk’s out of control opioid epidemic that will focus on prevention ad rehabilitation.

Chris Garvey is the only guy I can think of that could lure me into being prosecutor!
I never endorse a District Attorney Candidate, but I am breaking the rule.
I ENDORSE CHRISTOPHER GARVEY for Suffolk County District Attorney!

As Attorney General, I will not prosecute people for owning, possessing, nor carrying any type of knife.
This came in my email 10/25/17. What's wrong with our criminal Governor Cuomo?
In a shocking move, Governor Andrew Cuomo has vetoed A.5667-A, a bill that would have dramatically reformed the laws on knives in New York.
The current statutes are so murky and unclear that the New York City Police Department has interpreted it to mean an effective ban on almost all knives.
Thousands of people have been prosecuted for basic folding knives that can be bought in any hardware or sporting goods store. And most of those arrested have come from minority and low income backgrounds.
This legislation was passed by a 136-1 majority in the New York State Assembly and a 61-1 majority in the New York State Senate.
It was supported by a broad coalition of groups including the AFL-CIO, the NAACP, the New York Times, Knife Rights, and FPC.
Governor Cuomo vetoed it anyway, citing concerns over a recent rise in knife attacks in New York City.
Why he didn’t consider the fact that current NY law leaves victims defenseless to these attacks is unknown to us.
Unfortunately, the insanity remains in New York.
Minority and low-income residents in New York City still face harassment, arrest, and prosecution for the simple crime of owning a common knife.
But we are still fighting in New York!firearmspolicy.org

Greg Blass: The fix is in: Party bosses, not voters, decide who will be Suffolk County’s next district attorney and sheriff
"Suffolk County’s political party bosses are busy at work selecting
our next sheriff and district attorney. Their diabolical goal: these two
county-wide races will again be uncontested – meaning no choice for the
voters, only for the bosses. Nothing new – we haven’t had a choice in a
DA or county sheriff election for 14 years. Why is that?
First of all, in the DA’s office, over 400 assistant district attorneys and other staff are hired at the DA’s discretion. They prosecute all criminal cases in all the courts of Suffolk, including in our justice courts on the East End. No doubt these jobs will be divided among Democratic and Republican leaders, with handouts as well to the Conservative and Independence Party leaders, as with chips in a cynical game of cards."

Greg Blass How the Suffolk DA came to be the highest-paid elected official in the county — and what you can do about it
By Greg Blass - Sep 11, 2017, 9:31 am
"The Suffolk County District Attorney is our highest-compensated, elected county official, fully paid by us as county taxpayers. Yet huge raises for that job keep on coming. It now pays $195,000. Add benefits and health coverage, and we’re in the range of $230,000. This will again increase next year by about $10,000, in base salary alone, with another $2,000, in 2019." ...

2017 Libertarians nominate Chris Garvey for Suffolk DA again
Sat. 6/17/2017 The Annual Convention of the Libertarian Party of Suffolk County, in NY again nominated Chris Garvey for Suffolk District Attorney, as it did in 2013 and 2009.
The
District Attorney is not a mere adversary. His first task is to NOT
prosecute the innocent. If a prosecutor has reasonable doubts, he should
not prosecute.
As a Libertarian, my priorities would be to prosecute crimes where force, threat of force, or fraud were used against persons or property. That would include such crimes by government officials.
Poisoning of your air or water is an initiation of force which I would prosecute.
I would not enforce a law that violates the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment is an important part of the US Constitution. Some NY Laws violate the Second Amendment. GarveyFacts
Voluntary drug use by adults generally does not harm others.
Cannabis has been used mostly harmlessly for thousands of years. It can suppress pain, seizures, and brain damage from trauma or stroke.* There is no link between cannabis use and motor vehicle trauma.**
The main problem with opioid drugs is they are illegal. So users must rely on criminals to obtain drugs. Criminals tend to use fraud and force as business tactics. So users can't rely on consistent product. Hence, the opioid overdoses. I would prosecute dealers who use fraud or force.
Endogenous opioids = Opioid-peptides that are produced in the body include:
Endorphins
Enkephalins
Dynorphins
Endomorphins (Wikipedia)
Although pain is important for sensing injury and avoiding further injury, you don’t need to be distracted by pain for the entire healing duration.
So your body makes Endogenous opioids as natural pain suppressors, that make less noticeable many of the day’s routine discomforts.
If you bash your thumb with a hammer, and your opioid production is good, you can feel the opioid warmth of pain killer infusing your entire arm. Enough pain might also make you drunk, as the endogenous opioids spread to other nerves and brain cells, causing slurred speech. But the pain has done its job of discouraging another hit with the hammer.
Alcohol irritates your nerves, and thereby triggers your opioid production. There is no shortage of endogenous opioids, so there are no physical withdrawal pains.*** Spicy-hot foods similarly trigger opioid production.
When a person takes outside opioids (opiates, drugs derived from opium, Laudanum, morphine and semi-synthetic and synthetic drugs such as hydrocodone, oxycodone and fentanyl), his body senses that he has more opioids than needed for normal pain suppression. Endogenous opioid production is reduced to compensate for the opiates taken, reducing the opiate effect of the outside drug and its high. Hence the increasing dependence on taking opiates. If you keep increasing your dosage to compensate for lower endorphin production, all your opiates come from outside drugs.
When the outside opiate supply is interrupted, the body takes 24-48 hours to ramp up endogenous opioid production to normal levels. Pain becomes more noticeable. “The withdrawal symptoms for opiates may include severe dysphoria, craving for another opiate dose, irritability, sweating, nausea, rhinorrea, tremor, vomiting and myalgia.” Wikipedia
An important therapy for opioid addiction is ibogaine. Make Ibogaine legal for opiate addicts
I would not prosecute ibogaine use or treatment.

Abstract
Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia. Non-psychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH.sub.3, and COCH.sub.3. ##ST
