Yep, I've seen those devices on top of lights for when emergency vehicles come up, ambulances, fire department, and their flashing lights will flash at a certain rate to set the thing off in order to cause the light to go green to help them get through the intersection quicker. But there's a way station on Interstate 84. Is 84 or 86? I can't remember. It goes from, what is it, Stanfield, Oregon, and then goes up across the river and up into Washington up to 90. Maybe it's 82. I think it's 82. Anyway, when you get off of 84 onto this interstate, there's a way station before you get to the river. And it's not a standalone way station. You have to actually get off on an exit, go underneath the overpass, go into the way station, use it, come back. And then if you're coming west or east on it, then you just get off, make a right, and it's right there. You go through it. But they have a camera system. And I had a student that missed the, he was looking for a way station. And when he saw the exit, he didn't get off of the exit because he didn't think that was the way station because he thought, OK, that's an exit to get to the street down there to get to the businesses. So he didn't realize the way station was at the bottom of the ramp. So he went by it. He ended up getting a ticket in the mail because they contacted Swift and said, OK, here's the guy who, the truck number and the guy who ran it. And Swift said, yep, this is his address. And he ended up getting a ticket in the mail for running the way station because of the camera system on the interstate there. But that was not the same thing. They did have cameras in California. And there was one incident where a guy had run a red light. And the ticket came to his house. And his wife got the ticket, opened it up. And it showed her husband in the driver's seat driving. And he had a female passenger that was leaning over and doing something in his lap. Let's put it that way. Let me grab one. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November, Quebec, all star node 6222. Located in. All right. So yeah, she got the ticket, saw the picture of her husband with a blonde lady. You can see with the top of her head. And she used that and filed for divorce. And the guy sued the city. And I think he won. And now whenever there was or after that, I don't know if they still have the lights, traffic cameras. But after that, when they would send a ticket off, they would only send from the chest up so you could see the person who was driving the vehicle, but you couldn't see anything else below that. So that was a interesting story. I thought I'd share.
