No, they are nothing but money makers anyway. They are not for safety, but for $$$.
ReplyDeleteI drove by the one in pittsville on Sunday night at 10 and the one on old ocean city road was on. Its not about safety its about squeezing people out of money.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely
DeleteI went by there too last Saturday night, drunk on my ass. So glad the cop lets the speed camera handle the ticketing process
Deletenope, it means everywhere is a school zone, or possible school zone now
ReplyDeleteBwahahahahahahahahah...will the state balk at GREAT BURGERS and $2 iced cold Natural Lights at a certain "hotspot"?
ReplyDelete(snicker snicker)
Not in Fruitland!
ReplyDeleteThey’ll never turn off the tax machine
ReplyDeleteThey will remain active to keep motorist alert and aware of the presents of these zones. And tickets will continue to be mailed out least yee forget! Come on people, just thank the state and local authorities for thinking for you.
ReplyDeleteOh, how times have changed. Way back when I was growing up, we were taught how to watch for traffic before crossing a street. Parents took responsibility for their children's safety. I know someone on here is going to say there weren't as many vehicles, which is true. Whether one vehicle or more, the children were taught safety.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand. Grown adults where taught not to text and drive? People are much more distracted with everything and nothing that needs to get done these days. People also were taught to follow the law and respect an officer. It’s different times that’s for sure.
DeletePeople are more distracted than ever on the road. Adults had more respect for authority and the law.
12:36 totally! I love when people speed near schools where children walk! Lets encourage it!
ReplyDeleteOn sunday night, roll on
DeleteThere are a lot of children crossing the street at 10pm on a Sunday night in the middle of July. Maybe we can close all roads near schools just to make sure they are safe.
DeleteHell no, once on, they will never be turned off. It's all about $$$ anyway.
ReplyDeleteDamn right not in Fruitland. They really don’t need a speed camera, they got a dude there that don’t play. Come through Fruitland speeding and I guarantee you will meet him. Dude is like 6 foot 6 and all business
ReplyDeleteGestapo??
DeleteYou can thank Norman Conway for the enaction of enabling legislslation for mandating the thievery machines. And because of these devices - we helped to put him to pasture.
ReplyDeletefruitland cops have been trained by nazis, and they have no problem with shaking down every citizen. remember when fruitland had only 1 cop? cops in small towns are money makers.
ReplyDeleteYou'll get a virtual ticket. You can pay the fine with virtual money, then go on with your virtual day.
ReplyDelete4:59 you must be from Delaware bc all the money generated from tickets go back to the State, not the town.
ReplyDeleteNot speed cameras
DeleteSalisbury brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars
Pittsvile funds the entire police of barney fife Harris with their 💰
1. Fruitland cops don't shake down every citizen.
ReplyDelete2. The speed cameras are never turned off in summer when school is closed or at night, so why would they be if it's virtual?
They always used the "there might be kids around for summer school" excuse for leaving them on in the summer.
DeleteThere is a speed camera on St Lukes road in Fruitland for NO REASON other than to
DeleteMake
Money.. its a mile from any school.. its just to make money from people getting on:off bypass
The one speed camera on College Avenue by the high school
ReplyDeletebrings in 10,000 dollars a year
A Cop in Pittsville Maryland is not needed. Several speed cameras are paying for so called "Chief Harris" to afford 50 k trucks and expensive boats.What a waste of money.
ReplyDeleteJealous much 8:36?
DeleteHell NO > Greedy Govt is Never Satisfied !!!
ReplyDeleteTear those dam things up! It will not matter anyways, everybody else is tearing down statues with no repurcussions! So why not these cameras??
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteVirtually everyone knows they're there. Virtually certain they'll keep them on.
I honestly don’t understand why people are so disturbed by this. How about follow the speed limit and don’t get a ticket? I believe you can only get a ticket if you are going 10 over the limit. What’s the big deal?
ReplyDeleteNah 10.40! Chief Buford Pusser Harris and his wife can barely finance a gallon of milk according to M.J.C.S.
ReplyDeleteBut he gets to set his own budget in town when he cannot keep tabs of his own budget at home.Maybe Trent and Rusty can give him some pointers.
Why are they on now? Someone was working on the Rt. 50 cameras Friday morning. They should be turned off.
ReplyDeleteI have a question. Since the cameras are generating revenues based on the "School Zones" why aren't any of those revenues going to the Wicomico County Board of Education??
ReplyDeleteNot one red cent goes to the Public Schools but half of each fine goes to the City of Salisbury and the Town of Fruitland!!
Where is the outrage?? Why isn't Donna Hanlin, Don Fitzgerald and the rest of the BOE raising Hell with the Eastern Shore Delegation??
Would it kill ya to keep the speed limit with or without a camera?
ReplyDeleteFor the "viewer:"
ReplyDeleteAre you going to intentionally speed through those areas where cameras are installed if they turn them off? If not, then why do you ask? And if so, you are the reason they should leave them on. You only want to know for all the wrong reasons.

ReplyDeleteSo blame the children (or their non-present parents) when a speeding driver hits them in a school zone! That's some ridiculous thinking. You have become too old to think clearly about school zone speed cameras and children's safety. Your "old school" thinking might have applied 50 years ago, but not in today's time. And back then, it was the only option available. Your solution today is no solution at all.
Bob now is pulling people over speeding coming home from work headed north towards Delaware for 5 mph over the limit.
ReplyDelete3 speed cameras and a jerk! I guess that 96 k anticipated camera income is not going to cover "DA Chief" and all his silly toys.
