NJ Gentleman, With 23 License Suspensions, Drives at 74 mph, Killing Two Teens



Eric Patterson, 23, of Jersey City

No one was watching or harassing this gentleman, keeping him free to take time from his busy schedule to drive with out a license killing two teenagers. While police, and FBI employees in Cambridge, MA on property owned and operated by the President and Fellows of Harvard College, conduct a brutal 24/7 surveillance and harassment campaign, insulting, ridiculing, humiliating, provoking a 70-year-old white male who complains about being harassed for no reason. Are these targets and priorities generated by computer models?  

[From article]
Eric Patterson, 23, of Jersey City had tallied a long list of motor vehicle violations and had racked up 23 license suspensions. He had last driven legally in September 2014. Law enforcement officials on Monday said he may have been traveling at 74 mph on the 25-mph roadway just before the deadly crash occurred.
Noel Herrera of Cliffside Park and his best friend, Bryan Rodriguez of Union City, both 17, were killed Saturday night when they were hit by the silver 2004 Infiniti G35 that Patterson was driving, Hudson County Sheriff Frank X. Schillari said. The car, traveling north “at a high rate of speed,”
[. . .]
Patterson’s license has been suspended since 2014, according to his driving record, provided by the state Motor Vehicle Commission.
His record lists 14 violations, including one for speeding, two for careless driving and one for either the driver or passenger drinking alcohol in a motor vehicle. He has 23 suspensions, among them two for operating a vehicle during a suspension and one driving without insurance. His most recent violation was in February 2015, for failing to have a license, registration or insurance, said Mairin Bellack, the director of communications for the Motor Vehicle Commission.

Magnetic Japanese Train Sets World Speed Record



The maglev technology could be exported to the US
[From article]
A magnetic levitation (maglev) train in Japan has broken the world speed record by hitting 366mph.
[. . .]
Another test run is scheduled for Tuesday during which the train's speed could reach 373mph.
[. . .]
The speeds are twice as fast as today's bullet trains.
By comparison, Britain's HS2 rail line will run at just 224mph.
Maglev trains use a magnetic charge to lift and move the train cars above a guideway.

Speeding Motorcyclist Busted in Cambridge Allegedly High On Pot


Was this medical marijuana? Not to worry. We have plenty of Obama's executive orders, same sex marriage, and many unaccompanied children arriving in Massachusetts from Central America to protect us. Driving under the influence will never defeat us.

200 NYC Vehicles Caught on Speeding Camera



Example of City Owned Vehicle


[From article]
The speed camera crackdown in school zones has snared 200 city-owned vehicles — and the employees caught driving them will have to pony up the $50 fines themselves, a new analysis revealed Tuesday.
The number – based on data from mid-January to the end of May – is a fraction of the 41,000 tickets issued during that period, WNYC reported.
And only five of the authorized 140 cameras were operating at that time.
Another 15 were turned on in June, when 48,517 tickets were issued, and the remaining 120 cameras are expected to be operating by the end of 2014.

Electromagnetic Pulses Can Stop Automobiles




[From article]
The RF Safe-Stop system uses blasts of electromagnetic pulses to remotely shut off any car engines that targeted by the device.
The system was created by Chelmsford-based e2v Technologies and could also be used to stop the engines in boats because it can be triggered up to 165ft away.
[. . .]
RF Safe-Stop works because the targeted radio frequency pulses ‘confuse’ the electronics within the car, and this causes the engine to cut out as a safety measure.

End of the high-speed car chase? Engineers invent system that disables a vehicle's engine remotely using radio beams
The RF Safe-Stop uses a blast of electromagnetic waves to stop engines
It can be triggered at a distance of up to 165ft and also works on boats
The waves is also used to disable a vehicle’s on-board electronic systems
Future plans could see the technology fitted onto helicopters
Police and governments could also use it as a 'non-lethal weapon' to stop joyriders and even car bombs
