There's also a good read in the Montgomery (AL) Advertiser regarding a issue that prompted me to file a bill last session but that got stuck over in the Senate Transportation Committee. They are considering banning the use of traffic cameras for giving tickets to motorists. I support cameras for monitoring traffic and to determine the cause of wrecks, etc, but I disagree with using them to give tickets out to motorists. There's a 6th amendment problem there (right to face your accuser, but it's a machine!), and then there's the practical issue of someone else driving your car, etc. I hope they get farther than I did with it.
