HAMILTON, OH (FOX19)- Some special cameras set up in
cities and towns around the state are nabbing those driving a little too
fast. But, they're also stirring up controversy.
In Hamilton, city police
officials say their mobile camera is helping, and it's working for them.
In fact, their chief says the city has generated about $1 million in revenue
over the last three years.
But, some opponents to these
cameras say they're just not fair to drivers.
Plain and simple, the system in
Hamilton is mobile and set up along the roadway, with its only job being
to find people speeding. Your car will be clocked as you pass by a
white,
unmarked SUV, and if you're moving faster than a set threshold, you'll
get a
citation in the mail.
"I have no problem saying it
absolutely works here," said Hamilton Police Chief Scott Scrimizzi.
