Thomasville GA should stop issuing speeding tickets in school zones using cameras.


Thomasville GA should stop issuing speeding tickets in school zones using cameras.
The Issue
In Thomasville Georgia, drivers are being monitored in school zones and issued tickets automatically by mail. If safety were the issue, the City would ensure lights and signs to deter speeding in school zones. Instead, people receive a ticket days later ordered to pay a fine. It doesn’t add points to the license or get reported to insurance. It is assumed this is in an attempt to reduce public outcry. “Just pay the penalty and be done.” Seems more like a money making scheme than a deterrent. This petition requests the use of these cameras be stopped for issuing speeding tickets.
