    Good idea. The law is the law. Surely AAA is not advocating speeding. The cameras are just for enforcing an existing law. Illegal is illegal.

    Unfortunately the only time you see the ACLU or liberals complain is when a terrorist rights (ha!) are being violated.

    How about a little less oppressive government and freedom of privacy. STOP IT WITH THE CAMERA’S!

    This is nothing more than a revenue generator for the Town.Municipalities should not be able to set up speed traps on interstate highways. If this goes forward you can expect to see this mushroom all over the country as cash strapped municipalities look for ways to raise money.

    I think the speed limit there is 70 mph. How much faster do you need to go?

    That one belongs with: “I’ll respect you in the morning.” “The BMW is paid for.” “Its only a cold sore.” “The check’s in the mail.” This is nothing more than a revenue generation device.

    As for the safety concerns, how many accidents / deaths have there been on this streatch of I95?

    The first time a senator or congressman winds up with his picture in the paper with his girlfriend beside him, this nonsense will stop. They had this problem somewhere close to Washington DC. His wife got the picture in the mail and after he explained the other woman, the law was changed.

    Lets face it, it is about the money. They are doing red light cameras here, and the city only gets half the money. They were going to add the speed camera thing and the people started talking about a recall election for the politicians. That stopped the speed cameras dead in their tracks. The safety turned out to be the safety of re-election for the politicians. Go ahead, make my day…

    What speed will they ticket you – 71? 75?
    80? They better be consistent but this is big government telling us what
    and how to live. Where and when is it going to end?

    I am not quite understanding how the girlfriend would get in the picture? Can the cameras shoot pictures right through the dash board?

    Yes, they use modified cat scan equipment, which explains the high cost in the fee sharing arrangement.

    I would love to see the statistics that indicate the number of accidents in the last 3 years in this city….
    The only thing Mayor Greedy Hodges is interested in is raising revenue for his municipality inorder to keep his taxes down….
    Lets do a study on the number of people who die from the carbon monoxide coming from all those vehicles that will be bottled necked in Mayor Greedy’s town…
    Too much goverment at work again…. oh lets prohibit the farming of tobacco in South Carolina because we all know how many people die from the use of tobacco products…
    Sorry for rambling but government is supposed to be FOR the people…..
