hoping this catches on, pretty please CA...

i like the fact that the money can only go into maintaining the speed cameras or into making the road safer. those are both things desperately needed, especially in LA.

We implemented speed cameras in my province in Canada 20 years ago, and the government that implemented them got thrown out because the opposition party offered to get rid of them.

People REALLY hate them. Worse than anything else I've ever seen people hate.

i have good news because its not set at the speed limit but 11 over, so you only get the ticket for recklessly speeding. maybe the speed limits get lowered so people arent driving 55 next to sidewalks. is that really such a big deal?
