He's back! William B. Danzell, founder of several failed speed and traffic hardware companies has returned to Prichard, Alabama, to boost revenue by setting up traps on motorists and mailing citations to them directly. Danzell had been CEO of two failed companies in Rhode Island and South Carolina, companies built solely to profit off taxpayers and motorists.

According to TheNewspaper, [QS]The CEO of a series of failed photo enforcement ventures in Rhode Island and South Carolina has returned. This time around, William B. Danzell's firm, iTraffic, will dispense with the controversial practice of mailing citations to registered vehicle owners. Instead, he hopes to use taxpayer funds to help small towns set up conventional speed traps...

just like redlight cameras. Not useful, esp. when places post 30 or 40 mph zones and it is a high traffic zone which allows higher speeds (which ppl will drive).

Area appropriate speed limits would make it better for motorists, but will not bring the revenue small towns want.

The people who ran Nestor after Danzell was ousted as CEO sound like the real cons - "As the company went under, executives paid themselves handsomely while stiffing contractors who did work for the firm." This was actually NOT Danzell, but those who took over after him.

Isn't this what most of the people on here want - privatization of government functions? Most people on here always seem to be saying "get government out of this, out of that - let private industry handle it!" Be careful what you wish for....

Why would any city sign on with this idiot considering the amount of failure he has endured. Using taxpayer funds to fund his business. There will be more cities that end up getting taken to the cleaners. Can cities afford to take this chance?

These schemes are just revenue generators but do not do much to stop the speeder who is driving danerously at the time. Photo radar was set up in one place here and caught a driver several times over the course of the morning and he got several tickets but at the time, nobody stopped him from speeding. How does that improve safety in the here and now?
