AAA Questions Accuracy Of College Park Speed Cameras

WASHINGTON -- College Park speed cameras are under fire. AAA Mid-Atlantic says they aren't accurate and are placed to trap drivers.

More than 60,000 tickets have been issued since last fall, bringing in $2.4 million, 40 percent of which goes to the camera vendor, according to the automobile agency.

John B. Townsend II, manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic, points specifically to one camera on Mettzerott Road near the University of Maryland campus.

Just subpeona the camera into court to be tested for accuracy each time a ticket is issued. That should end the problem with the crooks running government.

This is what some motorists have found out first hand but try to beat a speeding ticket in court. HA. One of their main sources of revenue.

They even make you a deal, no points, we just want your money. And call it safety.
