Dayton Adopts Mobile (Hidden?) Speed Cameras
The Dayton Police Department has taken what some argued was an inevitable step to increase revenue. They have deployed a mobile speed camera inside a Ford Escape which they will move around the city to catch speeders unawares. The camera technology is the same used by stationary units. According to WDTN, “[w]hen a driver exceeds the set speed, the cameras snap three photos of the vehicle. The pictures and a citation will then be sent to the vehicle owner about a week after the offense.” Dayton Police Detective Carol Johnson said she is hopeful the mobile unit will slow drivers down. “They might be more cognizant of their driving or not speed at all just because the mobile unit might pop up,” said Johnson. Warnings will be given until the end of March. Starting April, 1 (Fool’s Day) the tickets will cost drivers $85.00 for each violation. If you find yourself charged with a violation of mobile (hidden) speed cameras, contact Dayton criminal defense attorney Charles M. Rowland II at (937)318-1384 for a free consultation.
