Let us keep this topic friendly positive, so Rusty or Bill NY does not have to close the topic. I am starting this topic conversation on traffic cameras. Bottom line is we would not need the cameras if everyone would comply with the law. I will quote comments from other postings for the convenience of reading them in one place. | ||

They will bill you for tolls in Florida if you use the toll roads and don't stop. I guess they don't care who is driving they just go by plate number. 9708-M0037-37MM-01 "98" Monarch 37 Spartan MM, 6 spd Allison Cummins 8.3 325+ hp | |||

Who believes the cameras are for “safety”? March 2018: Lakeland FL renewed five year contract $828,000 yr with American Traffic Solutions. 18 cameras at 11 Lakeland intersections generate 23,085 $158 tickets or $3.6mil http://www.orlandosentinel.com...-20170106-story.html “Crashes up at intersections that have red-light cameras - Orlando Sentinel” | |||

We here even in Iowa have speed and red light cameras, I have been ticketed by two myself. Some group had the state look at the placement of several of them and determined they were there for the sake of revenue only and made the locals remove them, one of them got me, they have not refunded my money though. I also heard but did not verify that if you did not pay the tickets there was nothing the local police could do to get the fine. I do assume if you got caught red handed by a cop in that community they would get you for those offences. 1971 24 ft Barth Continental P30 chassis 350 engine | |||

On a trip to visit our son in Pennsylvania, we traveled through Washington, DC. When I returned home I received a speeding ticket in the mail with a picture of the rear of my truck with the license clearly visible. 62 in a 55 zone fine $100.00. A week later another ticket!!!! Time 15 minutes later. 63 in a 55 zone fine $100.00. We now go up I-77 & I-81. Nick | |||

Found this above, although I think you mean California Highway Patrol.[/QUOTE] Not one in a million people, fewer in the poster’s state of CA, would think “chp” is a reference to genital mutilation (or adornment). Abbreviations, in forum posts, texts and emails, are efficient and usually appropriate. FYI: OTOH does NOT mean “out the other hole”. | |||

Here is the constitutional problem with citations based solely on cameras: The Confrontation Clause found in the Sixth Amendment provides that "in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right…to be confronted with the witnesses against him." Is the camera a witness (accuser)? Does having a law enforcement officer view the image (after the fact) make him/her a legitimate witness? | |||

Just one of the many abbreviations for the initials. I keep in mind we have nearly 4000 members and not even 10% are from California. Spell comments out so everyone can know exactly what you are thinking. According to your link the Highway Patrol in California, are not "sneaky" at all. The common goal the Highway Patrol in every state is safety. | |||
