RE: Another speeding ticket question

["Livolsi, Stephane" <livols1@investorsgroup.com>]

We have the lines here in B.C. but I have never heard of anyone getting
caught this way.  Seems to me that most of the tickets these days are
from cruisers who get you with radar when they are approaching you, and
from photoradar which (for those who may not know) is a self contained
system that calculates your speed and takes your picture if you are
speeding.  Then you can expect a nice little ticket in the mail a few
weeks later.  Very controversial system as the photo does not identify
the driver, just the owner and it is the owner who gets the ticket.  In
fact, the law in BC did not allow photo radar, but in typical fashion
the government simply changed the law to allow it.
