Speed cameras are common in D.C., but one in particular is causing a stir among drivers.

Positioned next to a tree on Missouri Avenue in Northwest, the camera is hidden from approaching drivers on a stretch of road is notorious for speeding and accidents.

In some cases, speed cameras are accompanied by warning signs, but a spokesperson for the police department was unaware of a legal obligation to post such signs. A complete list of photo enforcement locations is available on the police department website.

The hidden camera looks like a revenue generator to some who spoke to News4. Others said that if you obey the speed limit, speed cameras are a non-issue.

Ban the Cams note:  The problem with that "claim" of "obey" and you have nothing to "worry about" is a LIE.

Two Examples (I even left this personally on the article for fun).

1.  AU police citing for 1 km/h.  http://www.banthecams.org/Speed-Camera-News/how-the-scam-really-works-long-term-scamera-citing-for-as-low-as-1-kmh-that-is-under-1-mph-folks.html

2.  Spanish police now citing for driving UNDER the speed limit!  http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/35/3523.asp  Quote:  Valencia, Spain tickets motorist for driving too slowly past a speed camera
