The people saying "slow down" would probably be happy to know that your elected politician sold you out for a measly 12.5% of whatever fine is incurred, as the state takes another 12.5% and the company that owns the camera gets to run off with 75% of that money. It has nothing to do with the safety of children, because if thats the case then why are there cameras at the border of EP and Seekonk? Or on Roger Williams/North Broadway? There's not even a school near there. Getting a ticket from a camera is the exact same thing as if I saw you litter and I sent a pic to the police to tattle on you and they sent you a ticket for it.

That last part would be a great idea, the police can’t be everywhere to catch people In the act and litter is a pretty big problems.

I understand why it can’t happen but it would be great if there more ways to catch people in the act.

I mean as stupid as it sounds that would almost make more sense and would be better than some Swedish company that manufactures the cameras snitching me out. Litterbugs -should- be fined but just about everybody I've ever met in my entire life goes at the very least 1 mile over the speed limit, which by definition is speeding.

I’d assume the cameras have a 5 MPG tolerance even in the school zones .
