Bragging of excessive speed, complaining about doing 50 in a 30 zone and getting busted for it, and use of radar detectors to beat the cops will eventually lead to use of speed cameras.. static units on every street corner.. on the freeways.. every place.. detectors do not pick these up.. the UK is full of the things.. apparently, they used regular film at first, and flash too.. sometimes, the film didn't get replaced too often so there was maybe a chance that you could not get caught.. they now use digital cameras and flash is not required.. within minutes, the cameras have relayed the pic of your car to a computer.. next day, you get notification in the mail.. they ALWAYS get their man.. is this what you want to see across North America?.. drivers who speed know that it is unlawful.. they know why the zones are set up the way they are.. so quit complaining when you get caught.. take your punishment like a man/woman..
-- History is only the past if we choose to do nothing about it..
