HS 1 for HB 94 - Delaware Code Related to the use of Electronic Speed Enforcement Devices

​

In 2023, Rep. Shupe voted 'Yes' to pass the bill to enable electronic surveillance by the State, as well as counties and municipalities, to more effectively enforce speed limits on roads in a residential district  

​​

​

To garner support from municipalities, HB 94 requires payment of voluntary assessments to be made to the entity designated on the summons, which may be the Department of Safety and Homeland Security or the county or city where the speed camera was located.

​

Patrick firmly believes that government surveillance and cheap money grabs are not what free citizens should be subject to and will always push back on these types of 'big brother' intrusions.
