28. Those devices are very controversial
The company that installs the equipment does so for free with the agreement that they get to split the revenue from the tickets the device generates. It turns out that the lights controlled by the speed radar camera only stayed yellow for four seconds, unlike the other yellow lights that lasted for five seconds. I believe there was a court case that forced the company and offending communities to return a lot of the money that this Gestapo machine generated. I don't have a link, but this is a new story and it should be available with a simple Google search.
