Group’s Web Site, Facebook Help Fuel Petition Drive by Speed Camera Opponents

The statewide law recently passed by the Maryland legislature and signed by the governor would authorize speed cameras in work zones and near schools across the state. An effort to halt this new law before it takes effect this fall is organized by the grass-roots group Maryland for Responsible Enforcement. The group is gathering enough signatures through both old-fashioned legwork and new technologies such as Internet forms and Facebook.
