Ed Martin Goes There

We have written extensively on this blog about the unconstitutional scam that is the red-light camera industry. Those cameras are just horrible. Ed Martin adds to the discussion with a great first-person account of getting a ticket from a camera. My addition to Ed’s comments: The suburbs that do this are just as bad as the city of Saint Louis. I highly recommend Ed’s post, and thanks go to Combest for the link.

P.S. — I know I used the word “extensively” and then posted just one link. Trust me, I’ve written about it many more times, I just didn’t feel the need to find every one of the posts. Ed’s article is the main point here, anyway.
