Why not attach the cameras to the bus themselves?

Unconstitutional just like the red light cameras were.

So? Don't speed, don't break the law. What issue do you have with them?

@@IturaldeRodel The financial incentive for private companies to run the cameras. Speeding, red light, everything. You don't speed? Ever? Lol. Sure. That doesn't matter to a camera that SAYS you were speeding, even if you were not.

@@jadenpark7943 I thought the report said 11 but even if it's 6, that's plenty of tolerance especially if around schools, suburbs, and high pedestrian traffic in cities.

@@EliChristman I used to speed when I was younger and I copped it... In the last 15 years, I've had one speeding fine, and I earnt that one too. Corruption is a different matter but how would it be any different from a corrupt cop that says you were speeding? Actually, camera's are LESS prone to corruption because they have to take two pictures at set time intervals and by judging the distance the car has travelled between the two pictures, it's far more accurate to determine the actual speed of the vehicle.

No this is nothing but a cash grav from a private company. It's the same reason here in Georgia we're planning to get rid of then. Plenty of people have been ticketed during times outside school hrs.

Jeez 11mph buffer? According to NHTSA 11mph more makes it over 25% more likely of a pedestrian death, especially with children.

The laws the law, you break it you pay. If one can not follow the rules, they pay the price. This should be common sense.

@@drink15 100% agreed. I don't remember what place it was but the state decided to get rid of their camera's because it had a school zone speed limit of 45 and ppl were being caught doing 58...
