The Councilman was a dummy for not following the rules and creating a scene, but having him arrested was an overreaction. Unnecessary.

We have red light cameras here in my town. :-\
-
We had them briefly, along with the speed cams, but after a public outcry we got rid of them. One old fart legislator keeps trying to bring the red light cameras back every year. I hope they get rid of that guy.

Red Light Cameras are fascism in effect.

good job. That's the first story I've ever heard of where the people were able to get rid of them. A while back I found some studies that showed an increase in accidents where they were installed. Can't remember if I posted it here, I think I did.

I believe it... People slam on their brakes all over Los Angeles because of these stupid things... You think someone is going to go through the light, only to have them stop ridiculously just so they don't get a ticket.
Completely unsafe.

The speed cams were just as bad. The company used white vans with cameras, or what some of us started calling Tali-vans. (It was after 9/11). A news reporter interviewed someone from the company who said they couldn't rule out issuing tickets for going 1 mph over the speed limit. That was the beginning of the end for them. Then a judge threw out a bunch of tickets.

They did that here too.
Did you know most of those vans are independent contractors? They are private business that gets a cut of all the ticket revenue from the local government and courts.
No joke, they had a big fight in Medford Oregon about these a few years back.

Yep. Same set up over here. The cops hated them too because they cut into their ticket writing.
