I do know that the DEA has Cessina 208's that have special windows on the side for taking picturs. they gots all kinds of special equiptment in them too.
imagine if there was an actuall air unit that only does this all the time!!!!! I dont even know how that can be intergraded into todays complex flying.

almost not possible.


unless they are excused of most aviation rules and have right of way in situations.

I saw that sign on the I-95 on my way down to GA, my reaction was "yea right". I don't see how they can accurately track your speed by an aircraft (unless its a hovering chopper). Granted I'm rather unaware of all the technology out there but its still hard to see how it could be accurate. Hmm...I should do some research on this.
you mean like this one? http://www.nearlygood.com/picture/speedenforced.html
OK, FTR, THAT is ENFORCEMENT by Aircraft...

Seen that a lot on major highways. You can see the painted 'gates' on the road surface and sometimes the reflectors on the sides of the road.

That's why you see cars sitting on the side of the road before the toll letting time catch up.
Seems like that would defeat the purpose. I have no patience, I would just have to take the ticket. Of course, I would rather drive 65 for a while than drive the same stretch at 90 and park for 30 min.

French toll roads are the same way though, time you between toll booths.
