    Fined by the city for claiming to be an engineer - Suing on grounds of free speech

    I think he should have been warned to not use the name, but his claims should not be dismissed. the fact is bad design of lights costs many lives. putting cameras in place gives this city revenue but actually discourages fixing the problem, costing more lives. the city and its engineering...
