Two new speed cameras, which will be activated on Monday, have been installed in Berlin to catch and fine whizzing drivers.
One device is located on the 10,000 block of Flower Street behind Stephen Decatur Middle School, while the other was placed on Seahawk Road. The installation comes after the first speed camera in the area, also on Flower Street, went live on May 28.
Each apparatus has two camera heads, for a total of six among the three locations.
“It captures both directions,” Berlin Police Chief Arnold Downing noted.
The police chief said that the goal of the technology is to enforce the speed limit, 25 mph, while officers are not physically present. Drivers that exceed 36 mph face a $40 fine. The speed camera vendor, Red Speed, is responsible for mailing the citations.
Downing told the Town Council in May that Berlin would receive $26 of each $40 fee. Red Speed will collect the rest.
Someone with resources will end up fighting this in court.
I think I recall it being struck down somewhere and they were removed. Something about requiring Law Enforcement to enforce the law instead of money-making civilians!
Agree,
All speed cameras were removed in Texas bc of lawsuits.
Maryland has these out as an extra TAX BONUS INCOME .
No one cares to be a cop anymore bc of the lefts constant hatred towards police creating Black Thugs shooting White Cops
We need to figure out the basis for the lawsuits in TX and repeat it here!
If you are not speeding, it’s not a problem.
Cops don’t like traffic stops second only to domestic calls for danger to the officer.
lol All of you Blue Lives Matter bootlickers go full ACAB as soon as policing slightly inconveniences you personally. You all love cops right up until your next speeding ticket or DUI.
