RE: ENRADD - Electronic Non Radar Device



Our illustrious city council came up with two choices to raise revenue (not 
prevent accidents).  One way was a $5 dollar head tax at local bars and 
nightclubs.  The second was cameras at red lights, taking pictures of 
violators.  Guess which won.  Yep, the red light cameras.  Fortunately, the 
ticket is a pay fine only violation, no points assessed against your 
license.  And it is against the owner of the vehicle, not the driver.

One hit on Altavista.  Seven pages from the same company, none of which
have it in their visible text - it's tucked away in a "keywords"
meta tage.  Looks like PA only - the rest of the world can go back to
sleep.

Unless you're in the UK.  I note that the A14 has acquired a GATSO
on the Thrapston-Huntingdon leg, eastbound, with _NO_ warning signs.
