Traffic cameras and fines associated with them violate the Bill of Rights and due process. They are fining a vehicle vs a person. They are 100% unconstitutional.


So it's the person that should be fined?

I seem to remember the state was going to install timing devices to time your travel across the basin bridge. Does anyone know of a system in use anywhere else in the country that times a vehicle's speed across a long distance??

The DOTD website states “install new speed limit signs and radar speed detection devices”. To me this seems like they are only going to install speed cameras. Therefore, just drive the speed limit pass the cameras and floor it across the rest of the bridge.

The fines are going to have to be voluntary unless they want to take the cameras down within a month

The big rigs not adhering to the no passing law is the major reason for wrecks on the bridge



No.
Idiots that don't know how to drive in a stright line is the reason.

Anyone who gets in a wreck on the basin bridge is either an idiot that shouldn't be driving, or was hit by an idiot that shouldn't be driving.



and the reason wrecks happen is b/c some people are going 55, and others are going 80.
If they wanted to reduce the wrecks, then make the speed limit 75 and enforce that everyone goes 75. If you go below 70, get a ticket. If you go above 80, get a ticket.

If everyone put there cruise control at 75 on that bridge, there would be no accidents.
