P.G. residents protest speed camera plans

Prince George’s County residents and driver advocates on Tuesday objected to officials’ plans to install speed cameras throughout the county, saying the move is simply an effort to boost county coffers. County officials have proposed more than 100 sites near schools to deploy mobile speed cameras, a program supported by County Executive Rushern Baker.

Residents as well as officials from auto club AAA Mid-Atlantic expressed doubts that speed cameras being used by some county municipalities were there to reduce speeding as opposed to boosting revenue.
