pparaska Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 The good news: Thank goodness, some kind person is trying a "move right to let someone pass law": http://mlis.state.md.us/2003rs/bills/hb/hb0073f.rtf Now the bad: They've tried it before, but here we go again. Photo Radar and mailing people speeding tickets. If you live in MD, please email or call you state senators and reps to let them know you'd like them to vote AGAINST this bill. Only in the senate now: http://mlis.state.md.us/2003rs/billfile/sb0455.htm I've already emailed my senator. It was presented in the state senate and house last year and killed. Let's make sure that happens again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pparaska Posted February 19, 2003 Author Share Posted February 19, 2003 Oh, I love THAT! I'm seriously considering special lenses for my license plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 They have had speeding ticket cameras in DC for quite some time. The only good thing is they don't move them. I have noticed that the red light cameras always use a flash, even in the day. I had the idea of sheilding my plates with something like an electronic welding helmet lens that would darken when flashed, but look normal under constant light. The other idea is placing a couple of strobe lights next to the plate and have them trigger on the flash. Might white out the picture of your plates. The BEST idea I have had is to swap plates with your boss's car for a day, then see how many tickets you can ring up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Photo Radar and mailing people speeding tickets. I still like the idea of mailing them a picture of your money !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRJoe Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Jim you're an evil man, but I like the way you think My biggest problem with your idea is that I'm self employed. Guess I'll just have to behave when in MD. I have an associate who lives in Colombia and tells me all about "The %*$@#@ cameras". - Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted February 20, 2003 Author Share Posted February 20, 2003 Good news on the "stay right unless passing" bill - it got a favorable review in the house recently and I believe it was actually adopted. I'm not sure but I think now the governor needs to just sign it into law? Gotta study up on my state government processes - shame on me for not knowing!

Pop N Wood Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Hey VRJoe. No problem. Just drop by, I'll let you borrow my boss's plates. And I am intimately familiar with the @#$%&^$&* red light cameras in Columbia. That is where I use to work. BTW, the pictures are very clear.
