    Do you realize these traffic cams are just revenue producers. It's good for the city and the manufacture who makes these cams. They both come out ahead with money. Luckily in Atlanta, most traffic light cam fines are $70. Meanwhile, in CA most people will pay up to $400 after all fines and costs included.

    Thank these guys for coming up with such an innovative solution:

    Speed cams are a reality, but I'm not sure what you saw tonight. I'm pretty sure I haven't heard of any speed cameras in GA yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they come soon enough.

    Damn money, always screwing up everything.

    I see how they help the state create revenue and what not but I think that traffic cameras take things to far. On an empty road it should not be a big deal if I go 10mph over the speed limit, and a human cop would most likely realize that. Also I heard on the news that there are actually more accidents caused by redlight cameras than prevented by them because in a desperate move not to get a ticket people stop to quickly and get rearended.

    On a lighter note, its kind of funny that that one real estate lady from cali, I think, got like 14 tickets in a week or something like that.

    there are at least 2 of them at the intersection of Satellite and Lawrenceville Suwannee - there's even signs stating its photo enforced for a good reason - I witness my friend in front of me get broadsided - so we pulled off to the side of the road and the cop was writing the stuff down, and guess what? another accident due to speeding through intersections occured

    Those are redlight cameras though. I was on an open road with no intersections in sight.

    Worst case scenario I buy a faster car and go much faster. Top Gear did a test and apparently at 173mph speed cameras dont even register youve gone by.




    In all seriousness though, am I the only one who feels violated by these kinds of devices?

    I did that for about 3 weeks once, got out of a red light camera because of it.

    Well then I wish you well on completing it soon.
