In keeping with the classic police state policy of "If you are not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about", the City of Santa Fe has contracted with a third party company to deploy two Speed Enforcement vehicles at random locations every day -- sorta mobile Mexican Sleeping Policemen. The fact that the local paper publishes their location every morning seems like it would reduce the effect of the random placement, but they are often near elementary schools in order to catch late-to-or-from-work parents.
These vehicles are not very popular. They bring to mind the time my Mother got a camera-ticket for running a red light...three months after she died...because the registration on her old car had not been transferred correctly.
So. A couple weeks ago some guy in a nightshirt drove up to one on Bishop's Lodge Road at 1AM and let it have a few rounds right between the eyes. He was not a very good shot because the video camera survived the assault:
But he was pretty good at concealing his identity since he is still at large. See the news article here.
