Curious

On Monday there were the original 3 sets of speed cameras on my route to work.  The three 'types' too, as they have to have a reason in my state.  One in a construction zone, one in a school zone, and one in a rich people zone.

This morning, they were all gone.  Removed.  So, a small victory for the 4-7th Amendments?  Maybe.

Kinda odd they'd go away like that all of a sudden.  Maybe the contractor/owner wasn't getting paid enough by the State and took their equipment back.

Maybe it was time to hide them in a new spot?

Were they the kind that are mounted on poles? Because Montgomery County has methodically been switching over to the low, less conspicuous "box" type.

The ones on NH Ave in front of White Oak MS are now low boxes, as are the ones on Calverton Blvd. Note sure about the one on Good Hope Rd...

Check for a short utility looking box instead of on the pole kind.

The construction one was in a truck on the shoulder of the Inner Loop. The rich people one was on polls south of Kensington. The School one was those boxes.

Quad-rotor with spray paint. Just hover a few moments so they get a good look before it goes dark.

I wonder how much longer it will be till we are seeing things like this...

Not that I condone such things mind you, but how long till we are collectively fed up enough to start taking actions like those?

PG county just sent me a nice picture of my car. It was a nice picture but I think I can get a better one that will cost me less than 40 bucks.
