Speed Camera Company Xerox spent approximately $245,000 during this period to three lobbying companies. Lobbyists from the firm Harris Jones & Malone was paid $55,000. $90,000 was paid to Gerard Evan LTD. Another $100,720 was paid to law firm Alexander and Cleaver to conduct lobbying.
(By odd coincidence, Alexander & Cleaver was also the law firm which represented the Town of Morningside in a dispute over access to public records filed by the editor of this website. The attorney from Alexander & Cleaver argued that the town did not need to produce speed camera calibration records under Maryland's government transparency law because the program was run by speed camera contractor Brekford Corp. Morningside lost that case.)
Prior to 2013, Xerox had been spending about $176,000 per year on lobbyists.

I think that we should be destroying these cameras as I don;t know anyone that agrees with them. Mob rule.
Bribery is, and always will be, the main instigator of new legislation.
Outright destruction could be a problem but we should take a stand at our local Council meetings to have them removed. They are a violation of privacy and due process.

I agree. If some black chick can climb a flag pole and take down a Confederate flag then we should be able to take down these illegal cameras.
get volunteers to take turns standing in front of them, better yet, have a sign on your back expressing your thoughts.
HAHA Someone covered the one on South Division and Onley today with a for rent sign.
