LOL Yea right!!!! Had they been concerned with catching dangerous criminals there would be no time to illegally use LIDAR on speeders. If I were a cop or in charge of any police department, and my concern was stopping crime..... arrests for assault, battery, robbery and drug dealing better outnumber speeding by 10-to-1. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2008 2:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pittsburgh police refunding speeding fines given by mistake]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</guid><description><![CDATA[Our streets still suck...<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2008 11:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pittsburgh police refunding speeding fines given by mistake]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not as bad as Michigan's....I've lived in both places....Michigan's are horrible.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LMBVette]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2008 11:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pittsburgh police refunding speeding fines given by mistake]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</guid><description><![CDATA[I live in North Western Michigan. I JUST drove through the entire state of PA from NJ - OH.. PA roads for the most part are exponentially better than the roads here in Michigan. I was on I78, I80, 33, and many other side roads. <br><br>I actually wondered how our roads could be so bad compared to PA. I understand we had a GREAT winter, but the roads were already so bad that this winter just put the final nail in the coffin.. but i think our governor's plan on creating new jobs and maintaing jobs is to make sure we bust the crap out of our cars so we have to pay to get them fixed or buy new ones. <br><br>GENIUS PLAN! Our governor rocks (rocks those who have their hands out anyways).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MJC]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2008 12:54PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pittsburgh police refunding speeding fines given by mistake]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</guid><description><![CDATA[On loan...from the insurance company that owns the manufacturer of the guns no doubt..  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tankd0g]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2008 11:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pittsburgh police refunding speeding fines given by mistake]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</guid><description><![CDATA[Pittsburgh police refunding speeding fines given without regard for the law.<br><br>There fixed it for you.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike K]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2008 12:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pittsburgh police refunding speeding fines given by mistake]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</guid><description><![CDATA[Finally, some responsibility!   <br><br>Dont you think if they were doing it to be d-bag cops, they would have just covered it up instead of going public and fixing it?  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2008 12:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pittsburgh police refunding speeding fines given by mistake]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't see a practical or moral difference between laser measured revenue ticketing and the distance over time measured revenue ticketing methods they were supposed to use instead.<br><br>Revenue tickets thrown away for any reason are a step in the right direction though.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2008 1:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pittsburgh police refunding speeding fines given by mistake]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/16/pittsburgh-police-refunding-speeding-fines-given-by-mistake/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is this part of the system which looks like a field goal post in the median and on the side of the road?
