I was one of those pre-enforcement notifications. Now I go through the I-69/I-465 construction zone under the enforceable speed limit and literally I am passed by every single vehicle. Everyone! I hope the state releases monthly revenues from fines, number of tickets and warnings to see what the long-term trends are. People won’t continue to speed through and just throw the tickets mailed to their homes in the trash, will they? Curious minds want to know. But I learned my lesson.
Photo enforced speed zones should not be limited to constructions zones, but expanded to roads and street where speeding is known to regularly exist. Since police cannot be everywhere to issue tickets, let the cameras do the work. Drivers have no legal right to privacy when speeding on public roads. More lives can be saved. And the revenue gained is desperately needed by local jurisdictions. And while we’re at it, why not have cameras at intersections to catch the countless red light runners?.
The revenue will never go to the locals, or heck even infrastructure. The state will keep all the revenue so they can issue some more tax cuts. But they will get hooked on the revenue and roll cameras out everywhere in 5 years.
Why do I get the feeling that similar to Covid and mask wearing, the opinions on this issue would split exactly along political party lines?
Only you made it political.
Lighten up Francis. It’s all about revenue and coming whether we like it or not so it doesn’t matter, but I’ll bet I’m right. When I see comments saying speeders have no right to privacy and we need even more cameras writing automated tickets, from someone I am pretty sure is a hard left lean, it’s an interesting thought
6 years ago, if I had said “hey, there is going to be a bizarre virus that will split people exactly along party lines” you probably would have had the same response then too.
I disagree. I lean left but don’t like the idea of Big Brother watching me drive. It’s not far from there to “tattletale” electronics inside my car.
Then we become like China with its persistent and invasive monitoring.
I drove through there Saturday going about 5 miles over the speed limit and MANY cars flew past me on both sides of my vehicle like I was sitting still. Glad they’ll be getting tickets.
