I'm not arguing the money grab point but they typically don't leave them there all the time, they move them around and they usually either use them when there is daily active work happening or in an area where they have reduced the speed due to a narrowing of the road so it's not really safe for cars to be flying through there at any time, at least that has been my experience with them.

These are not cameras in the traditional sense. They are vehicles (typically white SUV's) they place in an area that has a camera on them and if you are speeding in a work zone it takes a picture and mails you a ticket. It's more like a red light camera. If they are like the ones I have seen (they are used in work zones in MD & WV) you will know without a doubt you are getting a ticket because when they take the picture there is a noticeable flash. I don't think they're a bad idea at all as they will deter speeding through a work zone which helps keeps the workers safe.

I've heard that back in the day when companies like Waste Management tried to come into CT their employees where chased and harassed by the people who were already here. Like pull the drivers out of the truck and beat them harassed. I work in the industry and no place I've worked is like that anymore.

I actually work for the company that bought Jimmie's old company now. We found anti-listening devices in the ceiling and some of the employees were here when the feds raided the place.
