"The installation of speed cameras in the Washington, DC metro area, where they are frequently installed in or near school zones, is generally couched in a public safety package. However, in reality, most local jurisdictions view them as a way to generate revenue for their coffers. Most of these jurisdictions are approached by private companies seeking contracts to install and manage the day-to-day operations of these speed cameras." -DC Traffic Lawyer Lawson Wellington

Proponents of speed cameras, including The Post’s editorial board [“Slow down, and pipe down,” Nov. 4], cite a reduction in accidents and declare that if you don’t want a ticket, then don’t speed. That simple-minded reasoning fails to recognize the fundamental issue: whether too many safe drivers are being ticketed in the effort to ticket the unsafe drivers.
Suppose the speed limit is 30 mph. Suppose further that a driver must exceed the limit by 12 mph to be ticketed, as in Maryland; that the vast majority of tickets are going to those driving 42 to 50 mph; and that only those driving faster than 50 mph in this particular zone are causing the accidents.
I believe I’m one of the slowest drivers on the road, yet I find it nearly impossible to stay below 42 mph in a 30 mph zone in light traffic on a clear day. The speed limits, mostly at the lower end, are simply not realistic. Does “speeding” mean exceeding the posted limit or driving at an unsafe speed? Those are two different things.
The suspicion that too many safe drivers are being ticketed is what prevents so many of us from believing the claim that the primary motivation is improving safety rather than raising revenue.

How To Beat Traffic Tickets Legally Using Your GPS or Smart Phone
Satisfied Customer Testimonial -
Just wanted to drop you a quick note.
I’m in sales, cover the DC/MD region and a road warrior. Recently, I received a notice from the car company our firm uses for company cars, that my registration was up for renewal and that I needed to take care of a violation. Thinking that I forgot a parking ticket I found out that I actually had 4 speeding tickets from cameras. These cameras are in Montgomery County, MD. In order to get my registration renewed, I had to shell out $ 205.00 for the four tickets!
Oh and here is a hint. If anyone has a company car from a former employee, make sure you change the registration address. I didn’t realize this and a $40 ticket went to $85 because they send the ticket notice to whomever is on the registration, whether it is a current address or not. Being as it went to the former representative, I got hit by late fees.
So recently, I downloaded the program to my Garmin GPS. So yesterday, I went into the District and I was shocked!!! The device just wouldn’t stop binging! I was driving along New York Avenue, as I have done hundreds of times and over a number of years, and had NO idea the amount of red light cameras. I knew of the one speed camera as I got a ticket there once. The cameras are literally on every corner.
Well I’m sold. Keep improving this program.
Recently, I heard that Montgomery County, MD has approximately 67 fixed and 7 mobile cameras. They generated $15 million in tickets (naw..these devices are for safety, not revenue). I had heard that it’s such a successful program; the County is considering DOUBLING the amount of cameras. That prompted me to buy your service. (I guess you owe MoCo thanks for increasing sales).
I have been driving over 34 years; have never had an accident and only a few minor speeding or parking tickets throughout the years. These cameras are EVERYWHERE in this region. On Snowden River Parkway in Columbia, there are THREE cameras consecutively. Generally I have been a very good law abiding driver, but enough is enough. These cameras can be “fixed” a number of different ways, as in setting how long a yellow light remains on. It just isn’t fair.
I heard recently that San Francisco either has started or considering a system whereby cameras take a picture of every license plate that crosses the city limits. With doing so, they can ultimately issue “commuter taxes” to enter the city. I know DC is considering this system and waiting on some results. I had heard that NYC is considering it as well.
With driving into the District almost on a daily basis, putting up with increasing parking fees, the notorious parking meter ticket writers, speed cameras, red-light cameras and street sweeper cameras, enough is enough.
Keep at it. I’m going to evaluate your program a bit more and I am also considering buying a better, more sophisticated GPS device, it’s time that average citizens have a tool to keep big-brother at bay.
Sincerely,
Alex

Our unrehearsed Gorilla Marketing efforts paid off very well. Driver response was very positive and we got lots of donations, cheers, honks and encouragements. Notice how drivers were receptive and appreciative to our offer. They were generous with their wallets. 2000 flyers handed out…we raised a lot of cash and lots of people are ordering online. Video is a bit long but it will show you the great potential for PhantomALERT. Notice how drivers reacted:
