Calif. Senate to vote Tu 4-19 on speed cameras - $400 tickets in the mail

[mk1mark at gmail.com (Mark F.)]

We used to have photo radar here (Ontario, Canada) as well (in Astro
vans parked along the highway), but it was very unpopular and
disappeared after a new provincial government campaigned with a
promise to get rid of them.  They replaced them with a team of O.P.P.
officers (same as U.S. Troopers) called the "Highway Rangers" - who
roam the province and target speeders on the highways (usually with
laser speed traps).

I for one would rather have the photo radar!  Radar detectors (illegal
here - but laws are meant to be broken :D) can easily pick up the
photo radar, but don't do squat against laser - other than to tell you
what you just got nailed with...

I believe there is still a company selling clear licence plate covers
that obscure the plate numbers at known camera angles, but looks
normal from behind...

Later,

Mark.
