Title: New Police Radar

Het guys:
I found this on facebook.  Don't know if it's true or not, but I wouldn't put it past them.  Apparently they are installing them in guard rails.  For cryin' out loud!

Most state highways have cams and radar at many points throughout their length. Their primary use is to record traffic information, to detect when traffic flow suddenly slows down, and to aid in identifying accident locations and severity. But, in most states, these devices are not presently permitted to enforce the law.

Indeed, if I were to be issued a speeding ticket, it had best come from a human cop that pulled me over. It had best be a living, breathing PERSON enforcing the law, and not some inhumane machine.

If some bright-eyed government were to start mechanically and automatically ticketing and sending them in the mail, that would cause an uproar of such outrage that it may well plunge this country into another civil war!

But relax... that will never happen. These same so-called lawmakers would automatically receive tickets on their own bad driving habits!  :Excellent:

It's been like this for a while in Chicago. We need a second american Revolu****

Here in Pennsylvania we have cameras mounted at each intersection
they sit on top of the light poles at the center of the intersection to catch
 people running or trying to outrun red lights!
 then the good old Penndot will take a pick of you as you crawl past a stop sign
 or run a red light (even yellow ones ya' gotta' be real careful on)
and send it to you in the mail! Sucks to put it nicely

They had a camera at an intersection in Glendale, Ca. several years ago.
At night the darned thing detected someone running the light and would trip a Strobe Flash for the picture. I was standing at the bus stop and that crazy flash went off a dozen times like a disco ballroom. I couldn't make sense of it at first and that flash was very distracting.

I haven't seen it lately, so it seems to have been discontinued.
