Ban the Cams note:  Another PRIME EXAMPLE of the FACT THAT PHOTO ENFORCEMENT IS NOT ABOUT SAFETY.  PHOTO ENFORCEMENT REQUIRES LONG TERM VIOLATIONS to stay in business!  So if they can't get enough "violations" by 10 km/h (about 6 mph) over or even 5 km/h over, THE VENDORS AND CITIES HAVE NO PROBLEM LOWERING IT TO 1 km/h over!  (THAT IS UNDER 1 mph!)  VENDORS JUST LOWER THE TRIGGER SPEED TO KEEP THE RATE PROFITABLE!    BAN THE CAMS!

France, Italy: Cameras Burned, Protested
French vigilantes burn camera as Italian drivers protest photo radar that tickets for less than 1 MPH over the limit.

Vigilantes in the town of Dardilly, France set fire to a speed camera on Wednesday. The automated ticketing machine on the RN6 had previously been attacked in July 2007, Lyon Mag reported.  http://www.lyonmag.com/article/18681/radar-incendie-a-dardilly

The frustration of motorists found a less violent outlet in Vergiate, a municipality in northern Italy. Vehicle owners have begun to protest after receiving 45 euro (US $58) tickets for driving as little as 61 km/h (38 MPH) in a 60 zone -- just 1 km/h or sixth-tenths of a mile-per-hour over the limit. The camera in question is positioned just a few yards away from a sign that lowers the limit on the road from 90 km/h (56 MPH) to 60, Varese Notizie reported.  http://www.varesenotizie.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58738:ancora-proteste-su
