Stop the Fraud in the So-Called "Speed Enforcement Program"
Sigma Space/Optotraffic's claims;
"Specifically, still cameras at each unit have only the following uses:
- to demonstrate that the vehicle was at the location where its speed could be measured;
- to identify the vehicle by looking at the license plate; and
- to demonstrate that the vehicle was actually in motion when it moved through the laser sensor system."
The company's own admission demonstrates their inability to conform to the standards established by Maryland Law TA21-809. Due to their admitted inability to provide "recorded images of the violation", they should not be utilized by any Maryland based law enforcement agency.
Why is this important?
Law abiding, speed limit driving, citizens in Prince George's County MD are being falsely accused of speeding. A District Court Judge has refused to consider the citation photos as a defense. The law is being ignored in favor of Optotraffic's corporate statements. TA21-809 considers the citation images as "evidence" of speeding. The District Court should allow said evidence in court!
