[Nfbf-l] Fw: Florida May Repeal Red-Light Cam Law?

[Patricia A. Lipovsky]

Well Stated, David.  I couldn't agree with you more.  The reasons being 
given for the removal of these cameras are bogus as far as I'm concerned. 
The ones that are complaining are the ones that don't want to get caught 
breaking the law.
