    Don't Speed

    Here are the new Zero tolerance speed cameras. Think they'll work?

    Now that there is funny! Imagine an officer of the law in a hot pursuit forgetting about the new system, could spoil his whole day. Might also cut back on teen traffic fatalities after the first few Zero Tolerance episodes hit the news.

    It would last about a day before someone pulled that first exposed round and separated the belt. Ammo is expensive nowadays. The same rounds would then probably be used to disable the camera.
    The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

    Ammo is getting expensive as well as hard to find. Many of my coworkers target shoot on the weekends. They're always complaining how hard it's getting to find ammo. Apparently, there's been a very big run on ammo over the past several months. The reasons get into politics, so I won't go there.

    That is a cool graphic. I think I saw one just like that while driving through Switzerland years ago.

    Pat, I sent you a note with a link to a site that has a great article regarding the ammo shortage. The statistics are pretty impressive.

    Sending link Todd. You would not believe how many requests I've had for it. I would post it here but I've already been chastised for a gun thread.

    On a halfway serious note, they supposedly got something to work on one of our no-longer-rural roads that was being used as a shortcut by commuters. Word had it the speed cameras would trigger a penalty red light.

    If you would be so kind Belinda, to me as well. I would like one of those for my area, to me it would beat the heck out of all these damnedable speed humps .
