From the current issue of Reason (print edition): “Washington, D.C., joins the list of cities using photo radar to catch speeders. The cameras are triggered when drivers go even 2 mph over the limit. Some consolation: Officers themselves have had to pay fines for tickets received while speeding to emergencies.”

Were Dante alive today, he’d surely add another ring in Hell for those local politicians who insist on using photo radar to bilk citizens out of money, even if it is only $15 at a time…
