TO: All those Cameras at Intersections -
Invasion of Privacy!
Taking away our Rights!
Assumed Guilt - without Trial!
Seventy-Five Dollar Fine - but - No Points!
Why? So People, the Public, will not Object!
Ease of Payment - just Mail your Check -
Has anyone ever Questioned their Accuracy?

Are popping up, faster and faster,
At almost every major Roadway -
City, County, and State Coffers are Growing!
