And since they are a "speed trap" city, they used the absolute shortest duration so that heavy vehicles would have difficulty stopping even by "jamming" on the brakes. But haven't we all seen how London spies on everybody and we know the current paranoia about "homeland" security. And last, we are familiar with the "camel and the tent." ISN'T THIS FORM OF CAMERA JUST THE FIRST STEP? Won't technology improve these things as fast as other technological gizmos? Won't a million dollars in cameras today be obsolete tomorrow and become replaced by five million worth of the latest? What next?
