speed camera question

[About2Bite]

Yep saw them on the 60 the other day, I'm just glad they don't have them on the on ramps

Are they still doing the testing phase with the new ones they put up before they start to mail the tickets?

[IMSHAKN]

I would hope so. They usually notify people they are going active before they do.

I hate those cameras and not because I speed as I generally don't. I hate them out of the principle of the things. We continue to give up one freedom after another and most are too blind to realize the implications of the revocation of each freedom they voluntarily give up.

Welcome to being in parts of Europe folks...soon we will be as watched as the British.

your right. it is about giving up freedoms. people are numbed into thinking that its for their safety.

here is another thought. doesnt the state make money off of speeders with the cameras? and DPS is in financial trouble? a bit fishy!

I've seen figures on some of the cameras around here in the valley and I want to say I've seen figures showing that some cameras have made as much as over 20k in one day.

Watching the news on channel 15 and they just mentioned something about the cameras on the 1-10, 51, and 60 going active on Nov 1st.

I hate these things, wish they made a voter initiative to ban them from the state.

[1966PonyGirl]

oh no. we had to by-pass that! making an initiative about it would mean no one gets the money. 20k in one day is sickening.

very we can change that we need a petition and strike!!!

I'd vote for Stalin if he was running and said he'd get rid of those gd things.

[Mr. Austin]

id vote for anyone if they got rid of them

Ok, I am going to piss some of you off. I think that they are neded. Every day i see people going way over the speed limit, some more then 10 mph. So if you want to go fast it going to come with a price. As for Big Brother watching you, he's been listening for years on your cell phones.

i can totally agree that i dont want people going a 90-100 miles an hour on the freeway. or even drunk people on the roads. half of the issue is i cant stand them going 40-45 on the freeway. i have been told that you can get a ticket for going to slow. they called it impeding traffic. they can go 65 mph or they can take the access road.

the other half is they should take the "spying on the public" down a notch! yeah i know they listen on cell phones, but so do regular people. if they have the right equipment. it comes down to another line crossed, and who is going to stand up and say not to cross the next line of cameras in your home?

just my thoughts. i am all for safety, but i really dont want to give up things that we have enjoyed before.
