I always stop at all stop signs. I do have red lights that I run regularly though....I also make U-turns on red.

I looked at my community and there are no stickers in the back and most are half the height.

The one to the main road has one.

Not that I run stop signs at all but do the NY stop and go lol, I'd like to see if this holds up in court.

Is this kind of like not getting tickets on private property?
Wut?

Go ahead and run a stop sign, they have no real purpose other then saving lives.

lol, Some stop signs dont have any purpose at all really...I have a 2 way stop on an open curve...not even a sharp curve...like wide sweeping...in a 20mph zone...with no intersecting roads anywhere near it...I'll take pictures and show you what I mean...there's lots of dumb stuff they do just for the sake of writing tickets.

We all do it. No1 is perfect. Getting out of a ticket doesn't make you a criminal. To say you never do/did anything wrong is rubbish.
Jesus, how did you miss the point THAT badly? Is the adage, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime," really new to you? Nobody should speed, hopefully that doesn't have to be spelled out for you. People do speed for various reasons, as do I, but if I was so poor that a speeding ticket was going to be a huge problem for me, then I wouldn't. If a ticket is a huge problem for someone making $11 an hour, then they probably shouldn't be as reckless as the people that can afford to get caught once in a while. You seem to think that if the punishment isn't affordable, then poor folk should exempt themselves.

The sticker is just there saying that it's government property. You take it, you pay big monies. Location (private or public domain) will determine whose jurisdiction it's in.

I heard that you can get a ticket on private roads/parking lots only if the owner presses charges, which is unlikly. But IDK
