No matter how much motorist hate the cameras, that operator was just doing his or her job and did not deserve to die because of it. It was murder and not a joking matter.
The crime committed was murder. When the perpetrator is caught they will be facing a felony charge. Considering the age of the suspect, he will most likely be spending the remainder of his life behind bars. This was a senseless crime with no positive outcome.

I DO NOT, under any circumstances condone the murder. This is an extremely sad thing, but to say that it is a good idea to place an unarmed person, alone, along a dark and busy roadway, doing something that is hated by many, in one of the most violent cities in country is a good idea is simply naive.
People are killed for as little as $5, because they were driving too slowly in the left lane, because they were sitting on their front porch or just because they look at the wrong person the wrong way.
Its all disgusting... but to say that violence against these operators, even murder, isn't possible or even expected is the height of ignorance or stupidity. These people, who are just doing their jobs, are just inviting targets to the criminally insane.
As an aside, the main road past my neighborhood has a 25mph speed limit. It is well patrolled by motorcycle cops and a photo van is often positioned near the elementary school. I'm very happy to have both.
A few weeks ago my girlfriend was being tailgated by a woman on a cell phone. She said she could see the woman yelling and waving her arms for her to speed up or get out of the way. When my girlfriend made the turn on to our street she stopped and watch this woman speed off down the road, furious some one would actually be doing the speed limit. She waiting until she saw the flash of the photo van as this idiot sped past it. The wrong person with a gun might have been so angry that this operator could have been a target too, not to mention my girlfriend, who was doing nothing more provocative than driving at the speed limit.

It is very sad, indeed, but I am not surprised at all. People don't always act rationally, especially people considering crimes like this one. The suspect may have even thought that he was taking an appropriate course of action, or it may have been something that he knew was wrong and decided to do it anyway. It's not even safe to assume that the suspect has such little regard for the lives of other people, he may have viewed the radar employee as someone who is less of a person based on their occupation.
I'm not saying that thinking in these ways justifies the crime, it doesn't. I am simply stating that it is important not to superimpose your worldview and interpretation of reality if you really want to understand the mind of criminals, like the man in this story.

It's a murder.
Unfortunately an innocent person got killed while doing his job and putting anything else in perspective along the fact that this was a cold blooded murder is out of my mind.
Hard to imagine that kind of comment coming from someone who claims to live in Kansas City. I thought you folks were a little more laid back than that.
Living in the Phoenix area I can guarantee you the video of the driver and his very distinctive SUV are everywhere today. Obviously the shooter didn't know or didn't care those vans are recording video whenever they're parked. He was recorded coming and going. TV has the pictures, radio has the description and the cops are extremely focused.
I suspect the reason the camera van program was suspended is to both prevent that lunatic from striking again and to thwart would be copycats (like ol' Kansas City here).
The dead operator had only been on the job a few months. He may have had a family. Fan of electronic speed controls or not most (I hope) would agree this really sucks.

We live in a High tech Society, and Can't have it both ways
None of us like the Camera Laws, But they are Laws and if you break the law, you basically have two choices now and one later, but the later does not get you off the hook for the ticket:
1) Pay the Ticket because your guilty of the traffic offense. You want to Face your Human Accuser? We live in a high tech society and Video and Digital Images are your Accuser, and since your reading this, you are part of the High Tech Society spoken of, and you can't have it both ways.
2) You can contest the ticket, and face your accuser, be it a city prosecutor with camera evidence or just the camera evidence in front of person appointed by local legislation to handle the docket for these matters.
I chose number 2, and wasn't pleased with the out come, But never once thought about Murder during the whole process.
Not sure a Life sentence is strong enough to deal with the murder of this magnitude. Obviously the suspect is a Defective Human and deserves nothing more from the court system then he gave the camera operator.
-- Using Android Based GPS.The above post and my sig reflects my own opinions, expressed for the purpose of informing or inspiring, not commanding. Naturally, you are free to reject or embrace whatever you read.
One would have to wonder what was in this guys mind to go down that path. Senseless murders are just that - senseless. Construction workers getting killed along the highways because someone was drunk or driving too fast through the construction zone; someone perhaps got a ticket from a speed camera, so seeks vengeance on someone he sees in a marked camera van?
And I am thinking of the horror that his wife must have endured, being on the phone with him when he died.
-- And now, back to your regularly scheduled forum - already in progress . . .
I disagree with the "not totally unexpected" statement, however we have all seen a trend of increased violence in the past few months where seemingly normal people lose it and whack their co-workers or their families. Blame it on the economy or people just being tweaked or both. It's murder any way you cut it. This was senseless and the operator did not deserve to lose his life.
As for Zurk, his post was second in this thread. There was no talk about pulling the vans off the street yet. His comment was directed to the driver. It says a lot about his tweaked character. I'll second the call for his removal.

Although I totally disagree with his/her statement and its a terrible thing to say, my condolences to the family.
We do live in America, and although I completely disagree with the statement and find it offensive, we live in a land that allows one free speech, our forefathers died to give us the freedom we have and enjoy today. I do not take the sacrifices they made years ago for the freedoms I enjoy today lightly.
I do not remember the movie but I agree with the statement 100% and it goes something like this.
You want free speech, lets see you acknowledge a man who's words make your blood boil who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.
You want to claim this land the land of the free, then the symbol of your country cannot be just a flag.
To call for his removal over this statement is something that should not be done.
Well, since this idiot hasn't bother posting since his unbelievably insensitive comment, perhaps he has left without needing to be removed. We can only hope.

I not big on speed cameras, but this has gone to far.
Senseless
This is a sad situation for every one.
I hope there are no more situations like this.
Gps! ask where to go and get there! Best of all, what we need is to have accurate pois to reach all destinations
The operator is simply just
The operator is simply just doing his/her job. We shouldn't hate someone just b/c of their profession.
We should, instead, blame ourselves for violating the law in the first place. Just my 2 cents.
Doing his job
Really, the economy and everything has made otherwise normal people turn into trigger-happy loons. I work at the state Dept. of Revenue and we've had a huge spike in people threatening bodily harm to revenue agents.
We have all kinds... Even on here...
good riddance.
That comment was out of bounds....
But hey its a free country...
Focus on the the victim.. Not the a-hole!

Unfortunately we have to share this world with cowards and a-holes...
In my line of work I have the privilege to see the best in people and the worst of them. Makes it all the better when I get home and see my kids safe in their beds.
As I read above we can choose to read what the JERK wrote or just pass it on knowing that people like him exist... And then there are the rest of us.
Prayers are to the family of Mr.Georgianni.

This is America, is it not?
Hello,
Although I totally disagree with his/her statement and its a terrible thing to say, my condolences to the family.
We do live in America, and although I completely disagree with the statement and find it offensive, we live in a land that allows one free speech, our forefathers died to give us the freedom we have and enjoy today. I do not take the sacrifices they made years ago for the freedoms I enjoy today lightly.
I do not remember the movie but I agree with the statement 100% and it goes something like this.
You want free speech, lets see you acknowledge a man who's words make your blood boil who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.
You want to claim this land the land of the free, then the symbol of your country cannot be just a flag.
To call for his removal over this statement is something that should not be done.
Just my two cents.

Good Riddance, zurk
Well, since this idiot hasn't bother posting since his unbelievably insensitive comment, perhaps he has left without needing to be removed. We can only hope.
Good riddance to him.

Two Way Street?
Zurk is a total as*-hole. However that does not mean he does not have a right to his opinion. If you don't like him or his opinion don't read what he posts.
What would your reaction be if people started calling for your removal. He posted what I consider a disgusting opinion that I totally disagree with, but I have the option not to read it. If you are offended get a thicker skin; the world does not revolve around those who want everything to be run by mister and missus nice in charge of the nanny state.
Were you offended by my remarks? Am I not entitled to my opinion as well? We can play the censorship card both ways all day. I'm not in a position to censor anyone.This thread and many like it on this site revolve around commenting on others postings (just like you did to mine.)I suppose you could choose not to read what I post as well. How thick is your skin?
