New cameras target school-zone speeders

No more revenue games

Traffic camera foes unite. The time has come to fight back, to retake control of our right to drive as we see fit, to put to bed, once and for all, the overzealous intrusion into our lives by grasping, money-hungry governments that impose inconsiderate and unjustifiable penalties on our driving behaviors, only to satisfy their insatiable and shameful lust for funding [“New cameras to snap school-zone speeders,” page one, Nov. 13].
