Yep,
Most likely it's an emissions device....

The city of Dallas is still debating getting a few of those.

While my car is just fine as far as emissions go, I'm against the use of many of these "automatic" traffic instruments....

Although their use is increasing, they are not foolproof...

This device and other "unmanned" devices such as auto radar guns and intersection monitors are nothing more than an attempt to get even MORE money from us at less cost...

I've seen the horror stories from other cities...
Go to the mailbox after work and pick up that 25 dollar fine for going through that tollway booth when the little change machine didn't sort your dime right....
What are you going to do?
Take off in the middle of the work day (possibly many times) to go downtown and wait to see a judge to dispute it, and then pay 30-50 dollars in court costs whether you win or lose?

Yea right.... You'll pay the 25 dollars and go on with life. And that is of course just fine with the city...

A load of poop if you ask me.... (Can you tell you struck a nerve?)
