Someone needs to get a petition started and get this on a ballot. Seriously this needs attention fast. This state is getting worse than AZ.

Maryland Speed Cameras

Yea hopefully something gets done soon. I will definitely not be voting to put any of these ***holes back in office who voted for the cameras, nor will any of the people that I know who I have shown this site to in MD.

Good. More speed cameras means they can lay off traffic cops. If I have to get a ticket I'd rather have a ticket from a speed camera than from a cop. I think it is funny places are laying off traffic cops after speed cameras are installed. It just provides more proof that speeding tickets are for revenue, not for safety.
