So I get the mail yesterday and there was an envelope from the Baltimore City Traffic Photo Enforcement.

Posted by Don Homer (aka DonHomer) Aug 31 '10, 06:15

Wife got a speeding citation from one of those speed cameras. 41 in a 25. Apparently they send it if you are 12 mph over. Says its equivalent to a parking ticket (no points, no insurance hit, etc.), but still annoying. $40.

take it -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 31, 06:33
no points and 40 bucks? that's crazy. Here that would be 4 points and close to a $300 fine probably -- nm - decline Aug 31, 06:20 3
- For a photo ticket? That's crazy. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:21 2
  - the 300 might be a bit high, but Jersey is crazy expensive - PA wold be close to $150 -- nm - decline Aug 31, 06:23
  - it would be way more here too. i don't think they are allowed to give points, but the fines are high. - Andie Aug 31, 06:21
fwiw, $40 ain't so bad for one of those. i've seen them a lot higher. -- nm - TFox Aug 31, 06:17 18
- $50 in DC. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 06:28
- Yeah I was relieved at that. Still, $40 is a nice dinner out or whatever. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:19 1
  - i get your point but... - TFox Aug 31, 06:29
- They're $100 here. -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 06:18 14
  - I was mildly surprised at the quality of the pictures. Not high-end digital camera, but quite clear whose car and plate it was. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:25 7
    - the damn speed cams are all over DC. It really has changed how I drive. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 06:30
    - Was she waiving ? -- nm - decline Aug 31, 06:26 1
      - No you can't see the front. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:31
    - Hell...we get pictures and a video. So we get to see ourselves running the red light. - Jim Aug 31, 06:25 3
      - How do they send the video? On disc? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:30 2
        
        We get the ticket in the mail and it has a link to the video. -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 06:37 1

  - Wait a minute...the red light tickets are $100. 41 in a 25 would be closer to $150 around here. -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 06:22
  - yup, I got 2 $100 ones for rights on reds (not a no turn on red sign) - groiny Aug 31, 06:22 4
    - We have a red light camera that apparently loves to get people for that. - Kim Pine Aug 31, 06:27 1
      - Ca-ching!! -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:32
    - Not us. -- nm - California Aug 31, 06:23 1
      - you can turn right on red? -- nm - New York City Aug 31, 06:28
