This is just another scam which screws the general public by not really inicreasing motor vehicle safety, yet making the companies who produce these damn cameras rich on the take of their portion of the ticket prceeds.
Makes you wonder who the camera company executives are related to in the first place.
I loved the story from last year about the thieves who found out that the traffic cams were high end Nikon digital cameras inside the housing...so they got themselves a truck with a cherry picker and made off with a whole bunch. Then sold them on eBay to the tune of over $30,000. Very enterprising.
That would be far too obvious. Think of the 'consulting firms'. It's the Chicago way.
