Anti-photo radar activists mobilized Saturday to warn drivers across Edmonton of imminent radar trucks.

Participants fanned out to each corner of the city in 24 cars for the Cash Cow Extravaganza, said Jack Shultz, founder of the Edmonton Cash Cows group which advocates for the abolishment of photo radars in the city.

For the past four months, Shultz has criss-crossed Edmonton, scouring the city to locate, document and warn drivers of photo radar trucks, which he believes are ineffective in stopping crime.

“The danger doesn’t necessarily come from the speeders,” said Shultz, who was charged with stuntingwhile warning motorists of radars earlier this year and has opted to contest the ticket at a trial in November.

“The danger comes mostly from the distracted drivers; people not paying attention … those are the danger, not the people that are doing five, 10 km an hour over the limit.”

Most drivers honked, waved, and gave volunteers thumbs up throughout the day, said Jordan Hopfner, a team leader in Saturday’s event who warned people of photo radar trucks along Whitemud Drive.
