Default Re: Photo radar & speed cameras: Are they in your town? (pic)

They're being challenged in the Iowa State Supreme Court because of the way they're writing the tickets. I don't remember what exactly the issue was, but something like varying the amount of the ticket and not following state guidelines on the price of the ticket. I worked as an intern in the traffic department the year they were installing them and the city engineer was excited about it. The one problem I remember him not liking about them was that they can't be considered a moving violation since there is no actual cop present, it was more like a parking ticket than a speeding ticket so he thought a lot of people, if they ever knew that, wouldn't pay them.
