I'm glad that these laws are in place so driving in Atlanta wouldn't require an armored vehicle with a snow plow.
They've been enforcing it for how long now? And have people stopped speeding, running red lights, etc... Obviously it can't be working if courtrooms are filling to the brink every month with violators. And generally if something isnt working you change it. When I lived in Pa it was rare to see a speed trap or someone pulled over, and certainly not a camera, yet somehow they managed to not have completely vehicular anarchy. It may have changed but last i knew only state cops were even allowed to use radar/laser up there.
