Baltimore Speed Cam Cites A Stopped Car

When Daniel Doty got a $40 speeding ticket for driving 38 miles per hour in a 25-mph zone, he was outraged because he wasn't speeding.

In fact, his Mazda 5 was stopped.

Two photos issued with the citation as evidence show Doty's car was stopped at a red light with its brake lights on, reports The Baltimore Sun. The car is shown motionless as traffic passes by on a cross street.

The incident happened at the intersection of E. Cold Spring Lane and Hillen Road in Baltimore. It's the seventh speed camera that the newspaper has reported has issued incorrect readings.

To all those folks that say "Obey the law and there won't be any tickets"...BS on you! These machines are a direct attack on citizens civil rights. We need to change Maryland's Constitution to require a ticket be issued and signed by a person with a heartbeat on the spot...not by a machine contracted by the government.

Maryland State Troopers are doing the same thing now to raise funds for O'Malley's programs. They will tail gate you and as you try to move away they will pull you over and write you a ticket; hoping you pay the fine to avoid a day lost for Court.
