I honestly don't mind the speed cameras, what I do mind is that its a third party issuing the tickets. I see major issues in a system where a private company is authorized to issue traffic tickets. Tickets should only come from the appropriate district's police force.

I agree with you brother, but let me tell you, speed cameras are NOT only in construction and school zones, they are everywhere. For example, Connecticut Ave, in chevy chase village. right before the round about coming into the district theres 2 just on that little stretch on both sides of the road. I see people get picked off all day, its kinda funny, I slow down below the 30mph zone, just so they definitely get the ticket, and I have no part of it.. hehe
