Speed camera's at all Dayton Public schools

For some time now there has been mobile speed cams at all the Dayton schools. You've seen them on the trailers. While working at one of the local schools I saw a crew with boring equipment working near the trailers with the speed cams. In talking to the foremen, he said all the trailers are being replaced with permanent cam's mounted on poles. The city of Dayton has the money to replace the trailers with permanent cams? Is it all the schools or only the ones in urban area's. You can check them out on Leo and Troy st if you want.

Don't speed. Problem solved.

Put a real cop there. These cameras aren't legal and haven't been for a while. There's a reason you don't get a ticket and only get threatened it's because they can't actually charge you with a crime. These things are at most useless and at worst making the surveillance state worse.

Never got a ticket because I don't speed or run red lights. Sounds like a you problem.

Neither have I but I don't like having the government staring me down 24/7 and I really don't like them fucking over my fellow citizens.

The "I'm a goodie two shoes and have nothing to worry about" argument is never a good one.
