Now might be a good time to invest in some sneakers.

Wasn't it Top Gear that beat a red light camera with a TVR at 171 mph ? I've been searching around for another 6 speed W8. A little ecu remapping like in my previous one and BAMM !! 171 mph.. ALLEGEDLY

We've had them for about four years here in Scottsdale Arizona. Believe me, the city doesn't care about saving lives, these "red light" camaras are to generate revenue for the city, that's all. And they do generate alot! Just like all of the automated photo speed camaras we around here also.
The manufacturer of this equipment tells city manager's this is a "gold mine"! The author of that article got their facts all screwed up. The camara trips on people running the red light, not speeding. Intersection camaras aren't triggered by speed. |

Doesn't work around here however... I put a reflective cover over my license plate that I bought on the Internet to "beat" photo camaras. Two days after I put it on my car, a cop stopped me and said he couldn't "read" or "see" my plate properly from "all" angles and if I wanted to avoid a ticket from him right then, that I would have to remove it in front of him right then, and he handed me a screw driver, so I did. He knew what the deal was...so he messed with me. *********!!! |

They tend to be that way whent hey have the badge and gun. Not like there is much you can do about it. Guess it is nice to shoot fish in a barrel. Like I have said before, I don't need them and don't give a rip if they disappeared.

Frankly, what's the problem with generating revenue from the folks that do speed or run red lights? |

Also works as evidence to traffic accidents.
Take this man vs. W210 for instance:

Gotta be careful with these things...they have a tendency to increase rear-end accidents

If that car was a sedan, with a male driver, and a woman passenger taking a quiet nap with her head "resting" in the driver's lap, I think all of us would know exactly who is responsible.
The old lady looks completely oblivious, but unfortunately no story is attached to the picture. I wouldn't recommend going to the website unless you have a very strong stomach. Did anyone notice the people in the parked VW?
