Highway cameras issue thousands of tickets

Photo enforcement cameras along a stretch of Scottsdale, Arizona's Loop 101 flashed thousands of drivers Sunday in a trial run of the nation's only digitally patrolled state freeway.

Officials couldn't say immediately how many of the 1,000 to 2,000 flashes caught actual speeders on Sunday, the first day of a month-long test which will result in only warning letters to lead-footed motorists. But beginning Feb. 22, drivers exceeding the 65 mph speed limit by 11 miles or more will be issued citations averaging $157.

This f*ckin sucks! I’m really not sure what’s going to happen if they put these in place at major cities. Riots, protests, forums… probably none of the above. However, people are going to be really pissed. Article here.
