The problem is that those people consider it a cost of commuting. Myself I think that they should double or triple the fines, and then have a bounty system to catch violators. Send in a picture of the jerk in the HOV lane from your cell phone that clearly shows the license plate of the car and a date time stamp and you get 10 or 15% of the fine. I think that would be more effective in catching violators than a network of cameras or IR detectors. Moreover getting a free 30 or 40 bucks off some jerk being an ass is always nice. larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
