I wish I'd thought of it

Looks like to me you were not exceeding a speed safe for those conditions. No cars around, dry road, etc etc. Did you do a TBD?

"Andrews also said that this could hurt the integrity of the Speed Camera Program. "It will cause potential problems for the Speed Camera Program in terms of the confidence in it," he said."

Awwwww!

I definitely wasn't.. there were very few cars on the road, and conditions were fine.. unfortunately, cameras are unable to determine that What do you mean do a TBD? I didn't contest anything if that's what you're asking. Speed camera tickets do not show up on your record, do not result in points on your license, and cannot be used to raise insurance rates.. and since it was only $40, I just paid it.

Got rid of them here. Revenue was supposed to go to the school system, but something ridiculous like 70% was going to the camera company. Axed them pretty quickly when the reports came out.
