I consider it extortion. If a cop observes me speeding, making an illegal lane change etc then I'll take the ticket. Fawk a bunch of cameras snapping pics in order to raise revenue for a locality. VA Beach got in trouble for these cameras a few years ago. These cameras ought to be treated like the Gatso's in England/GB.

 

You do the crime you have to pay the fine.

 

You know those don't work.
Right?

Mythbusters did a show on busting radar and they could not beat the laser.

 

. . even with a Laser Jammer?

 

They don't block or reflect radar/laser.

They simply conceal the numbers when the picture is taken.

I cant link directly to the image as its flash but click on the plate

 

Yea they tried the jammer then tried special paints, wrapping a car in aluminum foil, CD's, some spinning gizmo to deflect the laser and a few other things. Nohting worked.

Now that they may do, I couldn't imagine that would be very hard to accomplish.

 

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him,

"Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be careful!"

"Well," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"

 

My uncle was going home from the bar one night, got pulled over on the interstate and the officer walked up and asked him where he was going.
He replied, "I don't know but I must have missed cause everyone else is going that way." He was going the wrong way down the interstate.

True story too.

 

That was the lamest episode ever.

 

Yea I agree, wasn't that great, they didn't smash, demolish, or blow anything up

 

where are the pics?

 

This stuff is supposed to work fairly well if the cameras utilize a flash.

It absolutly kills me when people say the cameras are a cash grab for the city. What they really are is a tax on stupidity, do the limit and you won't get popped.

 

I have always paid my speeding tickets without arguement. ( haven't had one in 15 years ), but there are occasions where someone else may drive my vehicle. Let's play devils' advocate for a minute; I take my rig to the dealer or valet parking or wherever, and some cowboy blows a red with my rig while doing a road test. The city ( drool running out of their desperate mouth ) sends me a bill? I have no recourse? Jezus Christopher, I like accountability. The lack of it in this country is off the charts, and now uncle sugar wants me to be accountable for someone elses actions? Phuc the photo radar. Get out of the coffee shop and write tickets the old fashioned way.

 

Exactly. There was this punk that hit 115 in my Camaro last summer on a city street. They didn't catch him, but if they did, I would of beat his ***....
