Only an ignorant bigot would associate negativity to all gun owners on the basis of this miscreant's behavior.
sorry getting a speeding ticket is hardly the black helicopters coming to get you
put the gun away and pay your fine idiot
Right target, wrong tool. And he got caught. Stupid.
Then again, the right target should be the ill-meant laws which enable enforcement agencies to rip off everyone else. Cameras are incidental to that.
Hunter's Wayward Bullet Enters Home
CARROLL COUNTY - A bullet meant for deer came too close for comfort for one family. Laurie King said she and her family were having breakfast when a hunter's stray bullet flew through the home.
King said the bullet hit a lamp -- shattering part of it -- then ricocheted down to a rug and bounced into the arm of a chair.
No one was hurt, but the family was outraged.
"We were hearing gunfire all throughout the morning," King said. "All of a sudden we heard a loud one."
Authorities said the shot came from about 800 yards away -- well beyond the 150-yard required safety zone.
One hunter told WBAL TV 11 News that the hunters were irresponsible.
"It's common sense. You don't shoot in the direction of a house," said Shawn Hampt. "You have to look past the target in case you miss."
Officials are investigating the incident, but no charges have been filed.
Not that I am encouraging this, but a paintball gun would have been a better choice.
Right target, wrong tool. And he got caught. Stupid.
Oleg, I don't believe you are really saying that the camera was the target he should have been shooting at!
He could have just worn a mask and put white out over the lens.
Isn't wearing a mask in public a crime now?
you guys are funny. The ones they have been putting up in my city are too high to reach. Most of them are mounted to erector set frames that run diagonally across intersections.
7-18-08: Some things really piss me off. As you well know. The one thing that renders me livid more than anything else is the wholesale liquidation of our Liberty. Read this:
“The Arizona Department of Public Safety announced yesterday that it would pay an Australian company $28.75 for every ticket it is able to issue on state highways. By September 26, Melbourne-based ticket vendor Redflex will activate what will soon become the largest speed camera operation in the United States. Governor Janet Napolitano (D) commissioned the program to generate $165 million in revenue from the $165 citations. Redflex hopes this bottom line inspires other states to follow.”
I am not quite happy with this. I do not think that this program is in the best interest of Public Safety – which is the whole purpose of imposing arbitrary speed limits in vast open spaces. Instead, I think the Democrat dip**** they call a Governor, is doing this as a means of generating revenue. I just have this feeling. One of the reasons I keep an eye on the UK, is because what happens in the UK today is what happens in the USA tomorrow. The UK is lousy with traffic cameras, and the Subjects in the UK are tired of it... some have taken drastic action and I suggest the Citizens of Arizona do the same thing. The method involves tossing a tire over the camera, or up on it some how, then light it on fire. This destroys the camera. While there is risk, if the cameras are regularly destroyed, the program will have to be aborted. Another good way is to just use a big heavy truck and ram the camera over, then pack it up and toss it into a landfill. If you can't do that, just spray paint the lenses. I also suggest to the Highway Patrol there, to ignore anyone they see doing this to a camera. These cameras are not the American Way. Leave No Camera Standing. Someone should put up a web page marking the locations of every camera they put up, so every camera can be taken down.

Australian Company to Issue Arizona Speeding Tickets
Speed cameraThe Arizona Department of Public Safety announced yesterday that it would pay an Australian company $28.75 for every ticket it is able to issue on state highways. By September 26, Melbourne-based ticket vendor Redflex will activate what will soon become the largest speed camera operation in the United States. Governor Janet Napolitano (D) commissioned the program to generate $165 million in revenue from the $165 citations. Redflex hopes this bottom line inspires other states to follow. "We fully expect this program to provide a benchmark for the role speed enforcement will play in traffic safety in North America in the next decade," Redflex Traffic Systems CEO Karen Finley said in a statement to Australian investors. Redflex already operates two speed vans on behalf of state government, but the new contract expands the program to allow up to 200 automated ticketing machines. The company plans to blanket the state with 40 mobile speed vans, 10 mobile red light camera systems, 90 fixed speed cameras and 30 cameras capable of simultaneously issuing tickets in two directions. To help minimize voter backlash against the program, lawmakers last month eliminated points for these photo tickets, ensuring drivers would avoid insurance penalties and license suspensions. Early deployment plans also show out-of-state motorists will be a prime target. According to a state police news release, the placement of cameras on Interstate 10 west of Phoenix will issue tickets to "commercial and non-commercial vehicle traffic from California." Each highway patrol district will have at least two mobile speed vans to place in high-volume locations. State police have already dropped the speed that triggers a citation from 11 MPH to 10 MPH over the limit. Illinois was first to deploy a speed camera program statewide.
Clark, now facing a $50 fine
That might make sense, *IF* speed limits were always set on the basis of engineering principles and traffic safety instead of revenue enhancement or political pressure.don't speed don't get fined not that difficult surely
