    Default Speed Cameras are now here in Texas

    I am watching the news and going to record it. They have video of it working. I am going to see what it is. Looks like it has a red light on it and then a light below that.

    Ok the company is called Nestore. http://www.nestor.com/Speed_hi.wmv I have never seen this camera and can not find it on google pics. It has two 4 megapixel cameras. The system scans the road 100 times a second. It takes a picture of the car, truck, and driver. Also the were showing the back of the unit and it could tell you that it was a car coming and the speed then go to a truck and it would say truck and the speed.

    Well I hope it jams it. It is not really near my city. It's probably a good 45 to an hour away. Akron Ohio was the first city in the United States to get it a few years back according to the news.

    All you have to do is locate the van and pour about one gallon of gas on the wheels and set it on fire.

    No more tickets.

    Yeah there is and I don't think it is police officers but rather the companies employee's. My dad a former cop said he does not thing that would fly around here. I am not so sure. Also in the brochure it says this.

    Uses patented
    scanning LIDAR technology.

    So, what is scanning. What are all the others?

    Yea, I know in cali a cop has to be operating the equipment, just like the red light camera's are all illegal. In fact automated speed enforcement is outlawed, red light isn't but requires a officer to be the controller of the system, which it never is.

    As for 'scanning lidar -- sounds like an RMR term to me, probably just constant on lidar
