re: Got a speeding ticket from NOLA in the mail sent from Arizona

Our new mayor campaigned to take them all down but this hasn’t happened yet.

I'm bumping this thread because I was in New Orleans a few weeks back and got two tickets for going 24 in a 20. I did some research and it looks like Cantrell actually lowered the speeding threshold from 26 to 24 instead of doing away with the cameras. Campaign promises are worthless, though I knew that already.

I guess I'll pay because, yes, I was speeding, and I'm down there enough that a boot is threat, but it's still a fricking questionably-legal racket. Burns me up. What's even more infuriating is you can see me braking in the video to get down to the school zone limit.
