This is a few weeks old, but I don't think it was ever posted here.

Mr. McCrary may want to review the federal laws on cybersquatting.

Mr. McCrary may want to sell the domain name to a Russian porn and warez site.
To: GSWarrior
and the $250,000 per month they cost the town’s 1,500 residents. So every person in this town is paying a $167 traffic ticket 12 times a year???

Methinks there is a SWAT raid in this man's future.
Better board the dogs at the veterinarian's for a few weeks until it's over.

In which case he could possibly be liable for significant damaages under federal cybersquatting law.
To: GSWarrior
Very ingenious!
gotta love it when a plan comes together...but he needs to be smart and have a good settlement amount in mind
otherwise he'll get painted as some conspiracy theory nutjob after a while...

As the name-jacked domains are set up using non-trademarked names and they have a purpose other than selling the domain name back to an individual, they circumvent the "Anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.
Looks like if it is a none trademarked name and he does not sell it back, then he has no problem?

I don’t think the law considers it cybersquatting unless he attempts to profit from it.

I had the same thought but if I am correct he isn’t breaking the law, if he tried to sell it to him they would have a case. There is a process in them getting it back, takes $900 and about six months. Mean while I think he might be safe.

I’m guessing that is the cost for operating the cameras, not the tickets they are getting.

“and the $250,000 per month they cost the town’s 1,500 residents.

um no i believe he means the taxes being paid to the officer’s collective salaries and other expenses for manning the speed traps

I would also imagine that it is not only town residents who are getting tickets...
