Calif. Senate to vote Tu 4-19 on speed cameras - $400 tickets in the mail



We used to have photo radar here (Ontario, Canada) as well (in Astro
vans parked along the highway), but it was very unpopular and
disappeared after a new provincial government campaigned with a
promise to get rid of them.  They replaced them with a team of O.P.P.
officers (same as U.S. Troopers) called the "Highway Rangers" - who
roam the province and target speeders on the highways (usually with
laser speed traps).

I for one would rather have the photo radar!  Radar detectors (illegal
here - but laws are meant to be broken :D) can easily pick up the
photo radar, but don't do squat against laser - other than to tell you
what you just got nailed with...

I believe there is still a company selling clear licence plate covers
that obscure the plate numbers at known camera angles, but looks
normal from behind...

Later,

Mark.
