SATIRE. Fiction. No real camera, agency, town or record is described below.

After three years of uninterrupted service at an intersection it describes as 'fine, I guess,' a pole-mounted specimen has reportedly requested reassignment to anywhere with a different tree in the frame.

Colleagues describe the request as unusual, mostly because none of them can talk. Field observers note the species is generally content to remain wherever it was originally installed, migrating only when a work order forces the issue.

'I've memorized every plate on this street twice,' the camera did not say, being a camera.
