I was actually informed that report was originally circulated years ago, and that it's gotten reborn every year since then around the beginning of summer.

I can tell you that in the City of New Orleans a private company has been contracted to provide speeding cameras at several locations, usually school zones on busy streets. These cameras produce millions of dollars a year in revenue. At least one of the cameras was for a long time improperly set and was issuing school zone speeding tickets at days and times when school zones were not in effect.

I know I've been accused of assuming the worst on occasion, but in my own defense, as it's turned out, my suspicions have more often than not been proven accurate over time.

In cases like the ones you've described, I can't help but wonder if some are purposeful oversights, with the powers-that-be knowing most people are just too busy these days to deal with the inconveniences of fighting such tickets in court...similar to receiving out-of-state speeding tickets...and as a result just end up paying the fines whether they were deserved or not.
