You can even watch it online, my brother went through a red light (half ass stopped) and they had him doing it up on a website. Wasn't much to argue.
I have no problem slowing down for construction workers, hell I even move over lanes, but I don't like the idea of cameras at all. Just put a cop car there. EVERYONE notices the flashing red and blue lights. Hell the car could be abandon, still everyone sees it. |
I would rather have the police out doing other more important things (finding bad guys) and rely on the cameras for traffic stuff. It costs a lot of money to fund a good police department and I would like to get the most effective use from the officers and equipment.
If you are speeding or doing something that gets caught by a camera then time of day, construction workers present, etc., should not make any difference.
Too many people think that driving is a right and it's not.
I also do not support municipalities using photo/radar to fund all their cities needs -- there needs to be a balance.
