It's funny how some states are abandoning the cameras (Az.) and some are installing more of them. I believe the company installing and maintaining the cameras gets 50% of the revenue and the counties get the other 1/2. Evidently there's some problems with some of them and the traffic courts are getting "clogged".
Yep, same thing here in Texas (Houston). Got a ticket in the mail the other day for $75 bones because although I did stop before turning right, my frontend was past the white line (had to so that I could see oncoming traffic). It's just a cash cow rip-off down here!

Exactly! I think if you were to contest it and show up in court with pictures of the limited visibility from the limit line they'd throw it out. The courts are being overloaded with cases ofcameras not being able to confront your accuser etc.

I've got a Binks gun, compressor etc. I just need a very small amount to paint one license plate frame I'll check other brands of touch-up paint other than Duplicolor.
