I drivre 41A every day to and from work at FT. Campbell. Gate 3 is a death trap. people in this town do not know how to obay stop lights. At least once every week there is a crash at gate 3 or tinytown because people keep turning long after the light has changed. I say put up the carmras rase the fine to $200.00 If people are obaying the trafic laws they have nothing to worry about. The first week they were up I was at the US Bank at gate 3 useing the ATM I was there for only a few min. and saw the camra go off 4 times at leat once every cycle of the lights. Bottom line obey the speed and trafic laws and the cameras wont be a factor I disagree with you on this one. I drivre 41A every day to and from work at FT. Campbell.

I regularly get emails from people who haven't gotten a ticket in 20 years and then suddenly get 3 speed camera tickets in the span of a few days. Some towns in Maryland have been handing out red-light camera tickets to people who come to a full stop just over the white line. The overwhelming majority of those red-light tickets do NOT go to straight-through-the-light violations which people normally consider red-light running but rather to accidental technical violations which no police officer would waste his time on. Of course it *is* worth it to send out camera tickets, because the legal rights of drivers (that means YOUR legal rights) have been reduced, and the government does not need to pay to send an actual witness or a sworn police officer to appear in court. They can freely send out more tickets than the court system is physically capable of providing justice for and assume most won't waste the time to challenge them. Once it gets started it just keeps creeping along. Maryland is about to get speed cameras in freeway work zones -- with no workers required of course. Don't let your state go down this path.

People would be shocked to know how inneffective and flawed the cameras are, and where the technology is headed. http://PhotoRadarScam.com Absolutely correct.
