There have been at least two other instances where the words ‘GREEDY SCAM’ and ‘GOV. SCAM’ have been written in large letters on Montgomery County roads, directly in front of fixed speed cameras.
Speed cameras have been in use in the county since May 2007. If a driver goes more than 10 miles per hour over the posted the speed limit, a picture of the license plate is taken and a $40 fine is sent in the mail.
