The speed camera program is effectively finished and the tickets will stop arriving in our mailboxes. It was a long fight that drained me completely but knowing we kept that money in our pockets makes the struggle worth it. Keep checking your mail just to be certain but for now …

We have all been there, came home to your wife and kids and found a piece of mail labeled JESSE WHITE, yet another ticket in this financial crisis to bring us down even more, and whats to say about how this is violating our rights. According to one of our amendments we have the right to face our accuser the day that speed camera can stand up in front of me in court and make a viable statement is the day I give up on freedom. I can't believe we are receiving ticketa for going 6 miles over the speed limit, yet they collect all our money but they dont fix the roads ridden with potholes. I think its time we stand up and quit allowing the city to take our money. STOP THE SPEED CAMERAS.

The emails regarding these predatory tickets keep piling up and the stories of financial hardship are becoming impossible to ignore. I am exhausted by the silence from those in charge but I am not walking away from this fight.

Reaching this point has been a long and draining slog but the response proves I am not the only one fed up with these traps. It is exhausting to fight against a system that profits from our wallets while our roads fall apart. We are keeping the pressure on because they count on us losing interest.

They want us to pay up but the roads look like a war zone. Roads are falling apart and all they care about is mailin out tickets.

Take them down. We need speed limits that actually make sense and not these traps set up just to tax us to death.

Got a $100 ticket for going 37 in a 35. This is nothing but a money grab for the city. Fix the damn potholes first!

How is a machine my accuser? This is straight up unconstitutional.
