Ah yes, the great equalizer. I love it. The speed cameras have no idea who they are photographing. Until, of course, they put something like a very prominant blue bear sticker in the back window of their private vehicles...
Here in Washington, we only have red light cameras. All film and photos are "reviewed" by a police officer before a ticket is mailed. "Hey Ed, come here and look at this... is that a blue bear sticker?" "Looks that way to me, Frank." "I don't think I see a violation, do you?"...

I was very surprised the WSP officer didn't do this to me. I followed him for over ten miles at sometimes triple digit speeds. I was a couple hundred yards back, though. He must have been too focused on that taco.
