I can't imagine this doesn't lead to more cameras.Id hope this doesn't lead to cameras on every street corner eather.

It will. ”Law and order” republicans and their “if you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide” justification will fall all over themselves to get them done.I can't imagine this doesn't lead to more cameras.
A GOP supermajority and they allow this. This is unacceptable.
Certified speed measuring devices are certified accurate +- 5mph. Most construction zones have no shoulder for an officer to sit to check speeds, just temp barrier wall to temp barrier wall. I think the racetrack driving you see on the interstate is a result from officer (Trooper) shortages statewide. I know that there are days that the Indy post (covers Boone, Hamilton, Hendricks, Marion, Hancock, Johnson, and Shelby Counties) may only have 3 Troopers working. Not much time for active enforcement.From the conservative "law and order" thinking hammer them hard! Change the law. You don't need cameras to enforce the fear of breaking the law, you need enforcement by LEOs of a law that is feared. For example, make the law simply say that for every one (1) MPH a driver is speeding in a construction zone they will face a fine of $500. So just going five (5) MPH over will result in a $2,500 fine. Also, for speeding in the zone your car will be immediately impounded and you will get it back once the fine is paid in full. Drivers would fear that and take appropriate speed reductions.

Would this mean, typically speaking, that tickets aren't generally issued unless the driver is traveling 6mph or more over posted speed limit? Just curious.Certified speed measuring devices are certified accurate +- 5mph.
Yeah. It would be easy to fight a ticket in court for a speed that is 5 or less, over the speed limit. Unless you admit that you knew you were doing 58 in a 55mph. Anymore, anything less than 20mph over won't get most officers' attention.Would this mean, typically speaking, that tickets aren't generally issued unless the driver is traveling 6mph or more over posted speed limit?

A couple years ago we were in a church meeting with the local CoP. Before the meeting got started a couple of us were lamenting the city recently lowering the speed limit on a certain road in Bedford. He made the comment that his guys don’t even usually look up unless the driver is going at least more than 10 MPH over the limit on that road. I mentioned to him that I’ve been leaving 5 MPH on the table then. Duly noted.Yeah. It would be easy to fight a ticket in court for a speed that is 5 or less, over the speed limit.

When I travel, I put my cruise control on 13mph over the posted limit and I don't hit my brakes when I pass by a stationary patrol car. I've never seen them pay any attention to me.A couple years ago we were in a church meeting with the local CoP.

I think the thing with these cameras is that they could be programmed to trigger at whatever upper limit they want, right? There's no "camera discretion".When I travel, I put my cruise control on 13mph over the posted limit and I don't hit my brakes when I pass by a stationary patrol car.

I honestly do not know a single trooper working in the Hendricks County area. There may be some, but I don't know of any and have not seen any in at least the past six years. And I used to know them all very well.Certified speed measuring devices are certified accurate +- 5mph.

How will they enforce that?aren't they risking...
Indiana Code 9-18.1-4-4. Display of license plates; violation
(b) A license plate shall be:
(1) securely fastened, in a horizontal and upright position that displays the registration expiration year in the upper right corner, to the vehicle for which the plate is issued:
(A) to prevent the license plate from swinging;
(B) at a height of at least twelve (12) inches from the ground, measuring from the bottom of the license plate; and
(C) in a place and position that are clearly visible;
(2) maintained free from foreign materials and in a condition to be clearly legible; and
(3) not obstructed or obscured by tires, bumpers, accessories, or other opaque objects.
So.. add on 'processing fees'
impossible timelines (pay by tomorrow or else)
and errors in setting the cameras
