I, like every other red-blooded human, hate red light & speed cameras. I’ve never been hit by one personally but I do consider them revenue generating machines. In Maryland tickets from a red light camera don’t even count as a moving violation so how can you claim otherwise? I was very interested to see the new Dutch “indestructible” speed camera:
Road Rage is Futile at Gizmodo
Two interesting things, note the $100,000 dollar camera. Thats a lot of tickets at $25 a pop to pay for that thing. Second, as indestructible as it is a simple can of paint can render it useless. Not that I’m encouraging this type of activity, I’m just suggesting we all drive around with cans of paint in our trunks until the government understands how we feel.
