AAA calls College Park speed cameras inaccurate

The speed cameras in College Park are inaccurate and cannot legally be used to issue speeding tickets, AAA Mid-Atlantic said Wednesday. Provided by Lanham company Optotraffic, the cameras fail to record accurately time-stamped photos and violate both state and county standards, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesman John Townsend said at a press conference.

Will Foreman, an area resident who has received 60 tickets from the cameras since they were installed in the fall, has created photos that show it is “mathematically impossible” for vehicles to have been traveling at the speeds recorded by the cameras.
