four companies that operate speed-cameras in Georgia have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to state legislators.

Macon-Bibb County and the camera companies brought in $11.5 million from your school zone speed camera tickets since 2022. 

A new provision in Ohio's proposed transportation budget would prohibit townships and counties from using speed cameras.

Ohio lawmakers want to change how traffic camera laws are enforced across Ohio.

 A two-year, $11 billion transportation budget passed by the Ohio State House aims to eliminate handheld traffic cameras in townships.

 If the budget is signed into law by the Ohio governor, places like Weathersfield, Liberty, and Vienna will no longer be permitted to use them for issuing tickets, a change that they believe will significantly strain police departments.
