No matter what, these lights are racist.
See, one race will be caught speeding more than others. The fact that these cameras then catch said race more frequently is indicative of racism.

So will the government give you $250 if you successfully win your lawsuit, for your administrative costs??

It sure would be a shame if Floridians started using these all over the state.

Years ago in Fort Worth my brother decided to "get even" over a ticket he was given.
He took the license plate off his BMW 1000 motorcycle. He donned his helmet and drove through several automated speed traps at speeds in excess of 100 miles an hour while giving the camera the single finger salute.
He then drove home and used his car for a few days. He assumed the police "might be a little irritated with him."

Sounds good to me. This has absolutely nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with generating revenue for the state. I hope they all have “malfunctions”.

LOL, I’m betting he enjoyed that.
Using his car was probably a wise idea. :)

Somewhere around 50% of people don’t pay these stupid tickets out in AZ. Especially if you don’t live in the same city as where the ticket was issued. Get rid.

It would be amusing if somebody contested their citation all the way to the Florida Supreme Court, who determined that fair is fair, that if they contest their ticket and win, the city must pay them their court costs (lawyer) plus $250.
I imagine the revenue craving city fathers would lose continence with a decision like that.

Local governments often view the red light cameras as revenue makers "Often"? I'd substitute, "virtually always".
And The State marches on...

If I have to pay to exercise my God-given right to contest a traffic ticket, then I really don’t have that right.

A small town about 5 miles from me had red light camera's set up for a few months Dunnellon town decided to cancel the contract and remove them as it was hurting the tourist trade, so much for the safety factor they claimed when they first put them up.

Floriduh changed the law (about facing your accuser) to allow red-light cameras. I think it’s a code violation now to run a red light (or something).
