In college I was on a project with a guy. I showed up and he wasn't there. I was told that the deputies hauled him out in cuffs. They had issued a bench warrant for him in Chicago for a mess of unpaid parking tickets.
Camera Speeding Tickets - Pay??

Buddy of mine did that, the company sent back a picture of handcuffs...
It was awesome.

There’s this spot on Center Point Road in Hiawatha, just north of the Cedar Rapids line, that has a 25 mph sign - with a red flag on it - for the northbound lanes.
Across the street, a bit further north, for the southbound lanes there’s a sign that says 30 mph.
This seems to indicate the speed limit is lower n one side of the street than on the other, for the sane stretch of road. Totally bizarre.
On a serious note, if you challenge it in court (yourself), ask them how often they calibrate their radars, and when the last calibration was done. The recommended schedule from the companies that make them are way more frequent than anyone actually does it.
Shouldn’t the pension fund itself…? Why shake down drivers to pay for a mis-managed pension fund?
Should we just mount cameras on everyone, and automatically send penalties for any transgression of the law?
Everyone is probably breaking a law of some sort every single day, with tens of thousands of pages of law/regulations on the books.
Yeah, those speed limit laws are so obscure, how is anyone supposed to even know how fast to go?
A little personal responsibility, Pride.
I got hit for going 55 in a 35 when I was visiting my mom's new house in Durant.
The still photo certainly shows my vehicle. The video shows my car, I don't recall speeding through an intersection, and the video didn't look like I was going that fast.
All in all, what can you do though when they have your car on camera and their word against yours?
First notice I got said it was their final attempt and the fine had doubled. Ultimately I ended up paying the original fine amount vs fighting a losing battle.
It's a cash grab. And Pride's point is valid and the direction we're heading. Which is not a surprise to anyone paying a bit of attention.

It's easy money. All they have to do is sign the contract and cash the checks.
I got nailed from an ISP plane north of Creston one time. There was a trooper in a car waiting on me.
Do we need to merge with this with the Deere thread?
Great discussion going on about Pensions.
So someone speeding and killing someone or damaging public property from hitting something as a result...who's the victim?
If they wreck/get injured due to speeding… my insurance premiums will go up over time.
So.. there are victims.
