Welcome to my place! It's great to have you here! AN INTERESTING WEB DESTINATION
Friday, December 14, 2012
I once was given a ticket for going 80 when I was actually only going 30. I had a beard and long hair, was 20 and driving a van. It was police "profiling" for sure.
"The Baltimore City speed camera ticket alleged that the four-door
Mazda wagon was going 38 miles per hour in a 25-mph zone — and that
owner Daniel Doty owed $40 for the infraction. But the Mazda wasn't speeding. It wasn't even moving.
The two photos printed on the citation as evidence of speeding show the
car was idling at a red light with its brake lights illuminated. A
three-second video clip also offered as evidence shows the car
motionless, as traffic flows by on a cross street. Since the articles'
publication, several lawmakers have called for changes to the state law
that governs the way the city and other jurisdictions operate speed
camera programs. Gov. Martin O'Malley said Tuesday that state law bars
contractors from being paid based on the number of citations issued or
paid —an approach used by Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Howard
County and elsewhere. 'The law says you're not supposed to charge by
volume. I don't think we should charge by volume,' O'Malley said. "If
any county is, they need to change their program.'"
