Perhaps Craig Jahelka had the heads up on what the City of Salisbury might receive in revenue from the school speed cameras and that's where they came up with businesses doing so well on the Shore.What I can tell you is, there are a TON of flat out Idiots getting nailed, (in the hundreds) per day passing by speed cameras in Salisbury. If you average it to 100 per day, that's $4,000.00 in fines. The City Police Department gets 60% of that revenue, $2,400.00.
Now who is this County wouldn't like to make $2,400.00 per day. Mind you, these profits will go to relieve the taxpayers of the City but man oh man, that's some cool cash. It just amazes me how many people go 12 miles per hour over the speed limit in school districts.
Think about this one though. How about the school on Rt. 50. That camera system should being the City $5,000.00 per day. Rt. 50 is, (I believe) 35 mph and you and I both know, no one does 35 in that area. Imagine all the transient summer time traffic coming through there.
I need to get into the camera business.
Just imagine how many patrol officers these cameras replace,coupled with court time.

ReplyDeleteWhy dont they put cameras everywhere and cut the police force?

ReplyDeleteThen on your nights off, you can help protect the rich and their property.
As always it is always about money and never ever about safety. The police are now and have been the most corrupt organization in the country hoping only to fill their coffers, period. Too bad they don't have a camera system to catch real criminals. They are not very good at that.
ReplyDeleteSafty is a joke. You can add 500 new officers and it will not put a dent in your safty.
ReplyDeleteBut it will put a dent in your wallet!
ReplyDeleteIt's all about subservience people.Just be subservient& slow down.Is conforming to the rules of the road too much to ask.If everyone had obeyed the speed limits to start with we would'nt be having this conversation.
ReplyDeleteDidn't the last city administration have cameras above traffic lights at some intersections? If I remember correctly, they stopped using them saying they were too expensive to use.
ReplyDeletewhere is the one on rt 50? near arbys?
