I really hope this doesn't become a thing

quote:

The Welsh Police Department wants to install a new laser photo speed enforcement radar that captures pictures of vehicles and their license plates and determines their make, model, speed and location.

Drivers won’t have to worry about being stopped by a law enforcement officer. Violators would receive a citation in the mail, which puts motorists at a disadvantage when it comes to contesting possible traffic violations.

I've never paid any of these tickets. I get threats in the mail but unless they changed the law its illegal for them to obtain your info. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I really can't wait until I get one of these tickets in the mail. I really want to take a photo of the money and send them that, then go about my life with zero consequences.

There is an easy solution to this. That area is surrounded by farmland so all someone has to do is hideout and shoot the camera when no one is around.

Anyone from west of Welsh traveling on I-10 going to Lafayette, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Florida or anywhere else east of Welsh.

Anyone from east of Welsh traveling on I-10 going to LC, Houston, Austin, or anywhere else west of Welsh.

If you don't pay Welsh then they'll send some of the thugs from the mean streets to collect. You don't want that in your life.

I've always wondered with traffic cams,etc. Just haven't heard of any stories from anyone where this has happened.
