I don’t think speed cameras are even legal in Massachusetts. Accelerate away! I do, too, when there aren’t a bunch of idiots slowing to a crawl at the plazas.

They definitely aren't!
A few years ago I was driving up to Boston on July 4th and there was no one else on the road except some jackass in a Nissan SUV with NY plates who would accelerate to 90 whenever I tried to pass and then SLAM on the brakes every time he saw a toll transponder. At least he was predictable, as far as brake checks go.

Photo enforcement is not legal in mass EXCEPT for ezpass enforcement.

I think it’s allowed by local ordinances. Wasn’t Salem going to install red light cameras? It’s certainly not allowed on state roads.

No, it's prohibited at the state level. Ordinances cannot override that.
