Company that makes them must be selling them on discount. Local city gov. had a few installed. Louisiana doesn't have front plates .

Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

[quote=hasbeen1945] Of course, a bunch of cities also shortened the yellows to bump up revenue and MD was forced to return them to recommended lengths to try and cut down on accidents. Legislation to lenghten yellow lightsI've heard that too here in Texas. That's part of the reason TX voted to ban them. Someone (or company) see's an incentive to game the system to increase revenues.

Those cameras aren't bulletproof. .30-06 black tip works particularly well, from a few hundred yards away. Ol' Hotrod Hathcock at it again. LOL

They make plastic film covers that the cameras can't read! Don't know what you do about, the smile on your face!

Our city had them for over five years. Wife got snagged. she was postive she did a full stop and demanded to see the video as the system recorded every infraction. Yup she rolled it Hollywood style. I never let her live it down
Some SJW outfit did a survey. "People of color" were impacted at a higher rate than Whites.
City dumped the system. Cameras are racists, they tell the truff.

We had one mayor put them up, next mayor took them down.
Now, a new mayor has them back up.
Going to use the money to buy land and build a soccer field.

They have nothing to do with safety. It’s just another revenue stream for the government using big brother technology administered under the false pretenses of being about safety. This^

Received a coupon a couple of years back for running a red light camera. Most of L A County has gotten rid of their red light cameras but not Orange County City of Los Amamitos. So rather than hand over up words of 600 I did a little research. The Company who manufactures these cameras is out of Tucson AZ so when it's my turn in front of the Judge I informed him of that fact and asked him how often do these folks drive out her from Tucson to calibrate these cameras. The judge replied "Excellent question you will receive my ruling in the mail". A couple of weeks later it was dismissed. Takes me back 30+ years. Speeding ticket by radar Said they calibrated the radar gun each morning. I asked how much they were off? “What do you mean?” I said it could be off 2mph or 20mph or what ever...... “So......it’s calibrated “ But when does it go bad if it had to be calibrated every day? And there is no record how much it was off......... Only ticket I ever beat in my life.

Coworker got a picture of himself in the mail running a red light along with a substantial fine.
He sent in a picture of the money to pay the fine.
They sent back a picture of handcuffs. He paid the fine. LMAO.... Excellent!

They make plastic film covers that the cameras can't read! Don't know what you do about, the smile on your face! Tucson used them here before they took the cameras down. If a cop stopped you for any reason and noticed the screenig, you got two tickets and a very big fine. On another unhappy note, years back when I lived in San Francisco, I got a ticket for "burning a red light". The light turned yellow just as I hit the intersection and then red before I exited it. That yellow was less than two seconds and a "Chippy" red lights me and gives me the ticket. I decided to fight the ticket so the next night I set up a movie camera and filmed the rapid change from green to yellow to red. I presented it in court as evidence that it would be impossible to not run the red light due to the rapid change. That GD judge fine the crap out of me and hit me with court costs. He commented he did not like muscle cars and my vehicle was a not quite stock 66 Mustang. I've had a hate for the court system ever since. Paul B.
