In almost every area I have ever lived, the more ghetto the area the worse the drivers. Saw it in DC, VA, OH, and FL.

OK, so the cameras are racist. The software controlling them has been set up so it searches for light skin, and switches off when it finds light skin, so Whites don’t get tickets. That must be it.
After all, it couldn’t possibly be true that non-Whites break the law more than Whites. No. Everybody knows that. We all know that the cops profile, and let Whites go while stopping non-Whites. Non-Whites are more honest than Whites. The discrepancy is due to racism.

< / obvious sarcasm >

So, if I get this, the cameras are being removed because they prove that non-Whites break the law more than Whites? When facts conflict with leftist views, the facts must be eliminated.

and have paid out about $700 when I really shouldn’t have had to due to one.

Are you saying you didn't run the red lights?

Agree. After speeding, intersection violations are the nest leading cause of accidents. This mayor is an idiot. What an idiot

The way I see it low-income drivers need to ease up on the gas pedal a bit..

I guess the real question is why do low income drivers run so many red lights. I’ll conduct a study for $12,000,000.

It's a Rat Town. The Mayors a big time Rat and she is another anti-whitey. When I drive through the center of city, I roll up my windows praying it will deflect any bullets.

It was a wonderful city once with the best schools and all the amenities you could possibly desire.

It's now a Dem rat hell hole.

It's why a lot of 'em are poor...

We live in NC. Years ago my husband received a red light ticket from TN. He’s never been to TN and the car in the photo was not his. The last tag number in the picture wasn’t clear and they got it wrong. A pain to clear up and annoying. Eventually dismissed.

Makes sense. Low income are usually the lower IQ and the most stupid. They are bound to do stupid tings.

It reduced fatalities at a couple lights, did nothing at most and actually had more at a few lights.

She’s a big “I Hate Whitey” groupie. She’s right up there with Michelle.
