Yes that's about all you can conclude about our city's speed camera program.
That and how poorly it's run: like many other things in the city.
This piece of video 'journalism' is all over the map, primarily using tried and true sensationalism to enflame drivers' expected anti-camera rage.
(Having repeat offender Zack Reed as the Council spokesman is a bizzare joke.)

Speed Cameras Suck!
If you actually listen to the report you discover that the problem isn't with speed cameras, it's with the administration of the program. And yes, Xerox is ripping us off horribly.
Here's the facts folks:
Cameras don't speed, they don't even drive. Stop blaming a camera for your transgression.
Cameras also don't issue tickets. Police officers and Police department staff does, (or doesn't as the case seems to be.)
Cameras don't make streets safer. Enforcement of driving rules makes streets safer. Cameras can help.
Cameras are giving the police department more work. Nobody likes more work.
Speeding is against the law and kills people and other living things. Don't do it.
