Traffic camera

Recently, on our vacation trip to Florida, I was driving along and I saw the flash of a traffic camera. I had heard about the dreaded traffic cameras that some Florida cities used to catch speeders but I knew that I wasn't speeding.
Just to be sure, I drove around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed.
Now I began to think that this was quite funny, so I drove even slower as I passed the area once more, but the traffic camera again flashed.
I tried a fourth and fifth time with the same results and was now laughing as the camera flashed while I rolled past at a snail's pace.
Three weeks later, after I'd arrived back home, I received an envelope........ It contained five tickets for driving without a seat belt.
