I can't find the actual section of Iowa code that says this though, although I found it mentioned all over the internet... (must be true, eh?)<BR/><BR/>Of course, this doesn't really matter because the camera tickets aren't moving violations either. A millionaire could rack up 20,000 tickets from the speed cameras without worry of losing his license. However, I would think the DPD would put some actual traffic cops on the case if someone did that.QuadCityImageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503485646277987317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12726606.post-1137164120599514602006-01-13T08:55:00.000-06:002006-01-13T08:55:00.000-06:00Just a thought on this; the national average for S...Just a thought on this; the national average for State Patrols on highways and interstates is an 8-10 miles per hour leeway. I don’t think that the DPD is doing anything unusual here. Besides, if the speed limit is set at 35 MPH, then that is the limit, if you go over, you are in violation. I would think that if people have a problem with going that speed, then they should work though the process to have the limits raised. The opinion that an officer won’t stop you and write a ticket for the same offence simply speaks badly about our officers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
