Will the speed cameras being installed on the basin be challenged in court?

Saw that work is starting for them to be installed on the basin. Haven't speed cameras been struck down in most places as not legally enforceable?

Really sad that the first thing Jeff Landry did was put these cameras up

Louisiana’s interstate I-10 is decades behind the times and should have more lanes to increase traffic flow. Let’s add speed cameras to an already bad situation. Typical.

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.

Every one of them will go in the garbage, along with the ones from Baton Rouge.

I’m hopeful these cameras get shot immediately after install.

With the amount of traffic jams and the local artists known for their spraypainting talent, it’s not going to be long before the lenses are painted over
I’ll set the over/under at 3 months from completion

Houston was forced to get rid of them because they had no way to prove it was you driving. Cameras are a sensitive topic on this board for some reason.
I'd imagine the same will happen with the basin cameras after a couple legal fights

Basin Bridge should be widened to 4 lanes , EB and WB .

Theoretically you could just take that exit halfway and immediately hop back on the entrance ramp and that will be plenty of time to speed and still mess up the time

The big rigs not adhering to the no passing law is the major reason for wrecks on the bridge. Look at the Causeway - minimal wrecks due to no 18 wheelers. It’s the trucks. While they’re necessary, they need to enforce the existing laws… not cameras.

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

Drive the speed limit and it wont be an issue

I noticed cameras up on the beginning and end of the eastbound lane. Noticed a camera at the beginning of the westbound Atchafalaya Basin bridge but not the end. Cameras were facing in a way that would capture your license plate when you pass them. It was raining when I passed, so I may be wrong. But does anyone know if they've started doing tickets now? I haven't seen anything in the news.
Also noticed those electronic speed signs that flash when you're speeding.

Challenged in court?
Is court now another name for my garbage can? Because that's where they'll be going.
