Maryland has speeding cams, although it's a purely financial penalty, won't reach your driving record.

But they're still making money hand-over-fist from the people. Part of how they sold it was on safety, so they say they'll put it in school zones and road construction zones.

In the years since they've passed the bill, empty road construction areas with no one working, or even unnecessary/redundant construction areas, have popped up all over the place to justify their cameras. If you drive the beltways or major interstates, you will see construction zones probably once every 30 miles or so?

Maryland, land of the human ATM machines.

See this is why I was kind of eager to leave the facism of NY and the surrounding states. (except PA). It's like the crash test dummy for a Miltarist facist rule in america. Texas is doing it too but in baby steps. The north has an onslaught of civil and bill of rights violations by state and local govt's.

Rant over back OT

Our governor actually signed a bill to get rid of the ones on our freeways.

It's so nice now. They were actually causing more issues than they were fixing, on top of them costing more than they were making (I think they said that more than 70% or so weren't paying the tickets).

There are still red-light cameras, which I guess I'm okay with - except that they do speed too, which is dumb.

Though, there's a law that states that drivers must be warned a certain distance ahead of the camera and one of our cities puts no signs out that their mobile unit is ahead... I'm waiting for the day I get one and I can go to court and win.

I try to drive the limit, but have found out that this car cannot drive a constant thirty five. Never got caught exceeding the 70 limit.

But it didn't stop me from getting my red light violation! Turns out I needed a map upgrade...

I've never been pulled over. My lead-footed wife, on the other hand, has been puled over three times in two years; getting one ticket and two warning.

I live in Alberta canada. Unfortunately these types of machines are becoming more and more common. They had em in Texas too when I lived there last year

V1 will actually give you the best Lidar protection you can find in a radar detector. I have had all types of radar detectors and can tell you from experience that the V1 has saved my *** many times even with Laser.

The thing with laser is as soon as it goes off on your detector they have your speed. The only thing its telling you is they got your speed when it goes off. Its instant, no amount of breaking will save you.

The only thing you have to find out is if cops in your area like to use Lidar, in which case its not going to help you one bit, and infact will give you a false sense of security.

the two tickets i got was because i stupidly forgot to plug in my radar.
