  A camera that relays information about the vehicle and pretty much 
prints a ticket that would arrive in the mail in the next day or two, 
seems to me to be a good idea.  I think I'd get the hint that I'm always 
being watched and not speed. 

 Sure, a cop in the area that sits on every corner.  The photocop seems 
to be a better idea...they don't miss anything because they're 
never reaching for a donut or a cup of coffee and they work 24 hrs a day.
