I have to admit: I half applaud the guy for it. There’s something about these speed cameras that rubs me the wrong way. Well, for starters, I tend to think speed limits are too low, anyway. Further, the whole idea of employing video surveilance to monitor the flow of citizens is a bit 1984ishs to me.

The guy was pretty clueless in flipping the cop off, but as I say that, I think the fact that the plates ultimately wouldn’t match up with the vehicle registration model (in all likelihood) would have the same net effect.

I guess in that respect, the mud on the license plate is just about the only way to beat the system without facing repercusions.

Enforcement by photo radars and red light cameras seriously insult the right to due process. States argue that drivers voluntarily give up that right when exercising the driving “privilege”.

What we have today is the result of a series of court decisions handed down in the days when most folks still got around by horse & buggy - decisions granting states broad power to regulate the use of those strange and powerful rich men's contraptions.

While not specifically enumerated as an individual right, it need not be. I don't believe the founders intended to bestow upon government the power to regulate personal travel in the manner or to the extent it is being done today.

What gets me is they have the cameras in the big city and if you are not use to driving in the city you can innocently make a right turn on a red when it is posted non permissible.

A Friend got ticketed for turning on a red on a tough spot that the turn to go that direction to get to the freeway is a quick miss.

So they have a camera there and it sent her a series of pics of her turning as the light hit red.

Her face up close in all the pics.

That is just wrong IMO.
Speeding on purpose is not the same as trying to maneuver in unknown territory.
