Traffic Cameras for Shoulder Sneaks and HOV Frauds

Everyone hates sitting in traffic, then seeing a jerk fly by on the shoulder or in the HOV lane.
Let me start by saying I hate red light cameras and other traps designed specifically as a money grab for local governments. They time the lights in such a way that an unsuspecting driver has to choose between slamming the breaks at a yellow light (risking a rear end collision), or speeding up and risking the light turning red for a fraction of a second before they reach the other side. 99.9% of the people caught with these cameras missed the red light by a split second.
This is different.
What I'm talking about here is something that drives people crazy, people who think they have the right to take a shortcut out of a big traffic jam by riding in the shoulder or the HOV lane. Not only are they breaking the law, but quite often these people make the traffic even worse when they try to merge back.
Admit it, whenever you sit in traffic and see somebody ride the shoulder, aren't you hoping they'll get caught?
That's one kind of traffic camera I would welcome with open arms. They deserve tickets. It's like watching a bad guy in an old horror movie getting his chance with the monster. It's called justice. The same goes for people who fly by in the HOV lane, when they are the only ones in the car.
What we need are cameras strategically placed where people try to bypass traffic jams. Not only that, they should be high resolution cameras so they can also catch the weasels who think putting a shirt and hat on their headrest or a stuffed animal will get them off the hook.
