since i do street construction and we hire flag girls daily, ill shine some light on this.

if she took a photo, she will most likely report you to the police, ive seen them do it a 1000 times. will it hold up? put it this way, the flag girls are the ones keeping me and my crew safe, we trust their judgement, if she tells our forman and he calls the cops, were all witnesses to say you were speeding through our work zone and endangering our lives.

ive seen our flaggers take their metal slow/stop signs and smack them into the sides of cars as well. if they're shaking their sign while its says slow...go slower...if not, they'll hit your car and not a damn thing will happen to them..you'll go through icbc and they'll say you shouldve just gone slower and obeyd the traffic control person.

when we put up road closed signs, you'd be surprised how many cocksuckers decide to go around the sign cause its too much of a hassle to go back and around the block. if the road is closed, that entire street is my work zone, if we see a car drive around that sign, i have and wont hesitate to throw a shovel or a wrench at your car. ive hit multiple cars for doing this, right after doing it we'll call the cops, its 10+ witnesses to 1 person.

i dont work for some private contractor company, im a city worker, so police tend to believe us since we know most of the rcmp in our city, every morning theres a line of cop cars filling up their gas tanks in our service yard where we fill our trucks up...so we tend to talk to each other and see each other on the road quite a bit.
