Sent her off with a few extra dents, a crumpled license plate, some tar and a missing hubcap.

‘Photo Enforcement’? What is that?

Virginia’s red light cameras. I maintained their computers, network, cameras, wiring, traffic detection, etc. Basically the whole package other than processing.

So, how does the general public treat you on the job?

Oh okay. That makes a lot more sense.
I had this image (photo if you will) in my head of you approaching tourists and questioning if they were using the correct settings on their camera to get the best quality photo they could get with their device.
“Sir put down the camera, you have got your camera on an indoor light setting and you are trying to take a photo of a sunset. I can not condone your actions, put down the camera, PUT DOWN THE CAMERA NOW SIR!!! DO IT NOW, DO IT NOW!!!”.
Or something like that. Lol. Sorry, lack of sleep.

I’ve heard some horror stories before from other techs. 9/10 times people will joke about leaving it broken or “dont fix it yet”. The only times people have yelled something is if they’re driving at speed never when stopped (cowards).
Though there was once where I had a lane closure set up and this individual leans out his window and shouts “that’s real retarded youre working on that now!” Busy road at lunch time but my permit didn’t expire til 2 so the job was getting done. However as he shouted that the light turned red and he came to an abrupt stop maybe 3 car lengths away. Leans out his window “I didn’t mean you’re retarded- just that the company is having you do work at this time” very much in an apologetic tone.

Intelligent Transportation Systems Technician. So basically the same technology and equipment I work with now but without the photo enforcement aspect. Different company but more so the monitoring side of things.

I expect an oppo report back on how many people flip-off/moon the cameras. Would make for a good read!
