Really? These cameras are in place to enforce the law that protect public safety. If you don’t like the fines DON’T SPEED!
I got a ticket once, since then I resist speeding and am mostly successful. It is NOT a tax grab, as the funds only go to road safety so council is not motivated to fund typical “tax” programs. Those breaking the law, like Doug’s friends, may call it a tax, but the rest of us do not.
