Re: Radar Camera !!!
The radar-camera has been in use in NY state for the past 6 years now!<br /><br />Can't see how they are saying that DC is the first to use them?<br /><br />These devices have been used in Texas and Georgia also, as part of their ITS (Intelligent Traffic Systems) Systems.<br /><br />This type of equipment, was first used for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.<br /><br />I have actually operated this equipment on ITS Systems in Brooklyn, NY and on Long Island.<br /><br />Now, being I have operated these systems, doesn't mean that I agree with them.<br /><br />As far as I'm concerned, if a police officer did not actually witness someone speeding, then a ticket should never be given.<br /><br />This equipment was never designed for enforcement, and should never be used for enforcement, as it does have flaws, and its acuracy has to be constantly monitored.<br /><br />Laws should only be enforced by police officers in the feild, who actually witnessed the infraction, and then the officer can record everything on his in-car video for prosparity.<br /><br />Just my opinion.
