Sounds like McDonnell is not much of a civil liberties republican...
Not sure where I read it but .. Somewhere they took these damn things out because .. Rear Endings sky-rocketed!
Arizona is trying this and it is costing the state more to operate the cameras than they are able to collect in ticket revenue. We’re hoping they are smart enough to just give up on the whole thing.
What was the difference between the R’s and the D’s again?
Crist just signed red light cameras into law in FL.
A new Virginia Department of Transportation study shows accidents increased by nearly a third where red light cameras were used.
It is the culture of that state. I went to college in Va. many years back. They are heavy into enforcement of traffic laws. Oddly NC just one state below them was much more live and let live. In Va. if they had a law about it, they enforced it.
Interesting, of the three national referendum Republican vote-getters of last November, Chris Christie has turned out to be the closest thing to the real deal!
Who would have thought in NJ?!!!
Rise of the machines?
Not to mention that they made radar detectors illegal to boot.
In the early 80s, I received a misload overload fine at Bland,Va. There was a gate installed in the right of way fence, a guy came down from his house and I paid him $79.00. A few miles down the road, I77, was a set of scales in NC. I was legal there. Being an owner-operator was so much fun.
They're not really clear on the concept of "evidence" I take it.
Photo Blocker. Can’t give out tickets if they can’t read the plate.
May not be 100%, but everything I’ve read says it works very well.

I can't for the life of me imagine why someone hasn't run a proposition to outlaw them. Everyone despises them. The only people who like them are the municipalities, insurers, and RedFlex, and they don't add up to nearly enough votes to save the cameras. There are no big money interests on the anti-camera side, so the advertising would be overwhelmingly in favor of defeating the proposition and keeping the cameras, but I can't imagine that would hold back the tide as much as most people dislike them. I don't get it. I may have to talk to someone about getting a proposition written.
Position in the alphabet. Nothing more. Not in Virginia.
So all you Virginian FReepers, when I hit the brakes and stop the instant I see a yellow light, you'll know why.
Try to vote and campaign a little more intelligently next time?
