“According to the municipality’s official Facebook post, the radar systems are tightly regulated and cannot be manipulated.”

It’s nice to know that municipal governments are honest and would never resort to illegalities or shenanigans. For proof, just look at Dolton, Illinois.

At least it was not a Texas Mourning Dove tripping the cameras @113kph.

What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen duck?

Mallard Ducks apparently don’t migrate, so he’s Swiss.

It’s always frustrating going to the EU and having to deal with their ridiculously slow speed limits. You think NYC and D.C. 25mph limits are bad and yes they radar photo enforce in both cities. Try 30 kph...that’s 18 freedom units my cars don’t idle that slow, you would be riding the brakes the whole time. At least in the EU they still have stick shifts so you can just hold a lower gear at higher rpm.

Beware the Ides of April.

The duck saw the "30" sign and thought it was miles per hour. Easy mistake to make.

The background looks unlike that of an Urban, Utopian speed cam....
