That’s a situation where the cameras were wrong and a court would have likely forced a change.

The scenario under discussion is a case where the police are within their rights. A simple blog post would never force any change in most municipalities, much less immediately.



I forgot to mention that cars don't really have high accuracy speedometers; they could be 10% off which could easily cause a conscientious driver to speed. What's the point of giving somebody a ticket for driving 26mph when their speedometer says 24? That's, like, just silly.


I’m not disagreeing with the premise that the police are being overzealous. I just find it hard to imagine a world where someone complaining about it online is guaranteed to result in changes.
