90% of Americans believe at least one conspiracy theory

I don't know if this counts as a tin foil hat conspiracy theory but I believe it

I believe that a certain percentage of speed camera tickets are BS

You don't get the ticket in the mail for 3 or 4 weeks, there is a picture of your car and the speed is plausible not outrageous

You know damn well you weren't going 80 MPH in a 40, but 52 mph? That's possible

I once got a ticket saying I was going over 60 in Washington DC at like 8:30am. It's not even possible to go that fast on that street at that time of day

Basically, I was told "tough shirt, that's what the camera says, that's the price you have to pay"

In the same vein, when red light cameras first became a thing I know for a fact that the duration of yellow at some lights were shortened

When I lived in DC, there was a camera set up on Michigan Ave right next to the apartments I lived in right down the street from the National basilica. This thing wasn't on a giant pole or anything. It was basically steel box that was about 5 to 6 feet tall. Tall enough that you could obscure it fairly easily. And so it would be obscured by "citizens" from time to time. I wonder if it's still there.
