I drive alot in Maryland on I68. Eventhough there is usually cops setting up radar in it on every down hill slope. But now if they put these in place. Will cops still be out in full force?

Traffic camera vendors also helped promote the effort with lavish gifts, parties and campaign donations.

Lawmakers turned aside a number of amendments intended to clarify the true purpose of the program. One rejected provision would have returned any profit from the program to the public in the form of a tax credit. Another would have required weekly calibrations be performed to ensure the accuracy of the tickets. Lawmakers also rejected an amendment that would have ensured that state legislators were not exempt from receiving photo radar tickets. They also turned down an amendment that would have printed on each ticket the names of lawmakers responsible for voting the camera bill into law.

I found these to be interesting.

Man, this is terrible. I really despise speed cameras because they are just a huge money making scheme for the state.

Stupid. They've already put up cameras all over the takoma park, silver spring area, and accidents have gone way up because of idiots slamming on the brakes. Not to mention the dumb asses slowing down to 20 MPH when the speed limit is clearly 35. Traffic has gone up along with the accidents. If they put these on roads like 495 or RT50 they're going to be un-drivable....

Hopefully they never make it over to the Eastern shore. We had them for a short period of time, but they got rid of them b/c the third party company was ticketing people they shouldn't have been.

Wow shitty.

I dread the day they put something like that around here.
