Next Tuesday April 19, 2005 the California Senate committee on
Transportation will vote on SB 466 (Kuehl), which will legalize the use
of automated speeding enforcement by cameras in vans parked by the side
of the road.

The tickets will come in the mail, and while the bill doesn't say what
the they will cost you, I predict it will be $400 to $450.

Part of that sky-high cost will be caused by SB 57 (Alarcon), which will
add 40% to the base fine. SB 57 is coming to a different committee, on
the same day.

And just as a side note for you car audio guys, I don't see why, in the
future, the speed camera vans couldn't be equipped to give tickets for
loud noise, too.
