Speed Cameras

Thank goodness for those speed cameras making our streets and neighborhoods safe. Except, of course, for the one in Jeff Buck's neighborhood in Great Britain. Jeff parks on the street in front of his home where there happens to be a speed camera. He has twice been ticketed for speeding while his car sat there. But I'm sure that's the only one that malfunctions and all the rest both there and over here are perfectly accurate. So just pay your fine.
