we now have it in north scottsdale on loop 101, people are really critisizing it, and making a mockery of it.

Unfortunately it works! And is virtually foolproof. I live in Mississippi and we use Radar and LASER but your technology used in the road uses sensors that senses the speed of the vehicle directly above it! It is awfully hard to be wrong with this setup! As for the moral issue ... if you do not break the law ... you will not get a ticket. I personally like the idea of person to person intervention, and sometimes there are times to give a person a break. Machines are mearciless, likewise, they are not Jerks and do not give un-warrented tickets! As some cities " Boy's in Blue " have been accused of doing.



These machines are simply machines, they will make errors but they are very-accurate and have held up to many a challenge in numerous courts against many highly paid lawyers! They do not make decisions based on any bias! ABSOLUTELY COLOR / RACE / GENDER/ BLIND !!! Speed is Speed!



For some it is rather pure justice, removes all bias. Again, I personally would rather see some means of giving a person the ability to "get a warning" Officially at least the first time. We sometimes can do that. Do not know why that would not work up there with the camera. IT WORKS DOWN HERE WITH A PERSON, SEE NO REASON WHY THE WARNING COULD NOT BE MAILED TO A PERSON'S HOME WITH ONLY A MINIMAL $10.00 SERVICE FEE FOR THE SUBCONTRACTOR.



I THINK IT WOULD MAKE A TERIFFIC POLITICAL HIT. TALK IT OVER WITH ONE OF YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT REPS. HE / SHE WOULD BE A HERO OF THE LOCAL PEOPLE! THE MACHINES ARE HERE TO STAY, IT WOULD DO AWAY WITH ONE OF THE THE CHIEF CRITICISM OF THE UN-MANNED CAMERA AS I VIEW IT FROM HERE.



ALL A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER TRULY WANTS IS FOR YOU TO FOLLOW THE LAW, SO THAT HE DOES NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOU A TICKET, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THAT YOU AND OTHERS LIVE! I THINK THAT AN OFFICER DOES NOT CARE WHAT MEANS ARE USED TO SLOW YOU DOWN, SO LONG AS YOU DO NOT SPEED!





HAVE A GOOD DAY



DRIVE CAREFUL HEAR!
