This is the newest method of traffic enforcement that I’m aware of as it’s never happened to me before. Honestly, I didn’t even know this was legal. You know when you see a “speed enforcement” by aircraft and just start laughing. This is how I felt getting this while I was on a sale trip from a camera on the road.
14 mph over! Look at all the other cars in the picture? You think they all got speeding tickets too? What a fucking joke. I have no idea how I feel about paying it. What’s the worse that can happen? If I ever get stopped in Maryland I have a demerit on my record? What’s it matter? Fuck it. I’m a pussy peasant.
Would you prefer a tax-paid police officer at every major intersection?
I too have gotten a ticket of this type. I think the main objection is the anonymity of the exchange. In the moment, you “got away” with something, only to find that you didn’t – or weren’t even aware that something fine worthy had occurred.
I’m more intrigued by the Glacier National Park check.
