[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the stop sign cameras are absurd. if you dont stop long enough to eat a sandwich, they will ticket you. [/quote]

It’s true. There should be an investigation.

People who are criminals or indigent don’t pay their tickets and don’t give an f. Rest of us pay endlessly. I bet there could be a class action lawsuit for the disproportionality. [/quote]

I would love this. $75 for traffic tickets in MD where apparently my back wheels didn't make a complete stop on a road with no one in sight around 2 pm in a residential neighborhood.  Why is this even allowed? Who made up the charge? Why does this intersection need a camera and for all day long?[/quote]

The fact that you'll get dinged for that, but not for peeling out and then cruising at 10 over for the next half hour is the part that turns people against cameras. [b]Generally people want enforcement aimed at the worst offenders doing the most dangerous things. But no, we get robotic Olympic judges seeing if you "stuck the landing" at the sign.[/b] [/quote]

This. The stop sign cameras are handing out bullshit tickets for ticky tack infractions. They will turn the public against traffic cameras more generally. [/quote]

Generally, people want enforcement aimed at offenders. Except when they are the offenders. Don’t be an offender and you won’t have to get all upset when you get caught. [/quote]

Oh please the stop sign cameras in quiet neighborhoods are stupid.  People sit at the stop sign for like three seconds just to make sure they don’t get a ticket.  It isn’t for safety.  These aren’t major intersections.  There is no cross walk where pedestrians walk.  They are just a money grab.[/quote]

Which cameras?

King Farm Rockville. I wouldn't move there for the simple reason that I wouldn't want to have to constantly think about "sticking the landing" for five seconds.[/quote]

There are no stop sign cameras in Rockville. They're not legal.

However, if you don't want to drive in King Farm because you don't want to have to constantly worry about obeying traffic laws, that's a win for King Farm. Everyone in King Farm is safer with fewer drivers who don't consistently obey traffic laws.[/quote]
