Baltimore city took in nearly $20 million dollars in revenue from speed cameras this year, which is $4 million more than what was expected. Critics are arguing that the cameras are more of a cash cow than a safety measure. We take a look at the issue with Baltimore Sun reporter Luke Broadwater. Then, Rob Sobhani has mounted what he calls an "insurgency" campain in Maryland for U.S. Senate, running as an independent. He'll join us to tell us why he's in the race. Also, a look at the ongoing unrest in the Muslim world following anti-American attacks on U.S. embassies with Towson University Middle East professor Kimberly Katz

Speed Cameras

A few points to make here: We, as independently thinking citizens, should keep in mind that by not obeying the speed limits, are fattening the already fat pockets of the City. Most likely, all this revenew is going to be misussed. It is a clever scam that favors mainly the companies that provide the spy cameras. So; Do not speed, do not play into their scam! Marta V. Alvarez
