Hey, new targets for paintball guns !

I am pretty sure that all of the Stoneleigh Elementary students are being relocated temporarily to the old Carver High School building inTowson while the Stoneleigh Elementary building is being expanded/renovated. So, then why would they need one on Register Ave in the Stoneleigh Elementary school district when it is no longer a school zone?? Register Ave. is quite a distance from the school building anyway??

I'll kiss your butt in the middle of the Towson traffic circle at high noon on if that camera isn't operational 24/7 within 60 days.

Like speed cameras? Thank Quirk. He's the fellow pushing them. Don't like speed cameras? Encourage those in his district to dump him.

I'd sell tickets to see that event. Kenny L., say it isn't true!

I wonder how long before some Patriot commits a crime and destroys public property?

First, distance from the school doesn't matter. The cameras are placed where they will make the most money. The one for Halstead Academy is all the way up on Hillsway Avenue. That's a block and a half to 2 blocks away. My question is why are all these new locations getting the huge ugly boxes and not the 3 smaller and much nicer looking light post type cameras like those near Dundalk Elementary School. You can hardly notice those things on the side of the road. I'm sure neighborhoods would much rather the less noticeable devices near their houses. The answer I'm sure is money, money, money, because that's all that matters to the government these days. I'll be driving 5 MPH under the posted speed in all these areas-cause $40 in my wallet is much better than $40 in any government fund.

Watching the drivers on Seven Courts now they are in some instances Stopping just before our new Speed cameras so they can galk at it. Should be some interesting times in the next few weeks" Caution idiots behind the Wheel ", good sign suggestion just before this Speed Camera.

Living off of Ebenezer Road, I actively avoid the road now. They have placed the speed camera right on the downgrade coming in both directions. (They move the camera every week or so to generate more money by making people think it's gone from one location). Keeping the speed limit at 30 when school is not in session is a way to ensure that those who value the brakes on their vehicles speed up naturally on the downgrade in both directions in order to get to the violation speed without even doing anything other than drifting. If you don't get caught by the camera, you can always count on a police vehicle sitting, sitting and then sitting some more on Ebenezer or Joppa for hours at a time. Glad there's no crime going on and the officers don't need to patrol or interact with community members.

I wonder haw many people go exactly 11 MPH OVER the speed limit as their way of thumbing their noses at the speed cameras ?

RE: Loch Raven High, on Cromwell Bridge Road - This is a high school. Students don't play on or near the street.

RE: Stoneleigh Elementary, on Regester Avenue - This is over 5 blocks from the school.

These camera's are all about the politicians taking money from citizens.

cameras are not going anywhere so get over it. stop your bellyaching.

If your government leaders were REALLY interested in road safety, they would attach points to every ticket and give a lot less leeway than 12 MPH over the speed limit. Points with every ticket would ratchet up everyone's car insurance in a hurry, and the entire populace would slow to the actual posted speed limit for fear of higher insurance. Of course at that point the state would start losing money on all the cameras and "work zone" tickets if we all did the speed limit, so they don't want to be too strict! They are definitely playing the probabilities to see how they can best maximize their profit. It's pretty scary to see cars driving through the "work zones" on the highway at rush hour and slamming on their brakes because some picture taker is up ahead making our highways safer.

Several SHA engineering studies have concluded that the cameras are unsafe due to motorists braking unexpectedly. It's also been shown that they rarely remain cost effective because once their location becomes known, they fail to generate sufficient revenue to cover their cost. For instance, my GPS alerts me to their presence and it's updated daily.

The real issue is that despite the fact that you live in one of the most highly taxed states in the union, most of you are more than willing to let "your" representatives lease out the ability to tax to the highest campaign contributor.

The issue is not the cameras. The issue is people driving at least 12 miles over the speed limit (usually 25 m.p.h. around schools) If you don't like the idea of cameras for revenue than drive slower. If the cameras don't generate revenue due to lack of speeders than they become a liability and will be removed. Obey the law and all this becomes a non-issue.

FIFA, Again I say if you don't do the crime you don't pay the fine. As for gps devices that report to the police, I would not support that. There are limits to the powers that police should have and that one shows great potential for abuse. It also does not address a specific safety issue whereas fire lane and handicap space cameras would.

We just have a different line in the sand. Your quote, "Obey the law and all this becomes a non-issue." Appears slightly hypocritical. Full disclosure - no camera tickets here.

LOL "Illegal is illegal"....or does that only apply to undocumented residents?

Can't believe Mr. Fisher has not found his way over to this discussion yet...

I would be interested to know if there is any data on accidents caused by these camera's. As a highway driver those Jeep's on the side of 95 with camera's on them cause everyone to slam their breaks to not get a ticket. I have first had seen 2 rear-ending's for that reason alone. So I would like to see what incidents have occurred on these roads that have made them targets for the camera's. I have a hunch there probably aren't many accidents but people tend to speed there. Which doesn't seem to be beneficial to society....more or so to create revenue

I'm waiting for the cameras that peer into your car to ticket you for driving while TEXTING or Talking on your Cellphone. They would really have a moneymaker there!
Alas, they won't get a bunch of Concerned Moms calling for it because they would be the ones getting all the tickets !

The look on that speed cameras face is all =O

that one at loch raven should be raking in tons! coming over that hill where the speed limit goes from 40 to 30...

This is the most exciting thing at Loch Raven since the kids painted over the "R" in the Rock Church sign to make it an "F" and they painted over the "O" and made it a "U".

You know what bugs me is all the dumb ass people that drive 10mph below the fn speedlimit while going past these bs camera's! Learn the rules people!

Elliott, I think you should know that the SPEED LIMIT is just that. That is the fastest you should drive. It is NOT the required speed. "Learn the rules people!)

Speed cameras are a poor excuse for raising revenue under the guise of safety. http://www.onlinedatastoragesite.com/laptop-not-book/samsung-sequence-7-chronos-review-equipment.html
