If they have the money to pay for a car, are they really to be considered the “most vulnerable’?

Good red light ticket setups are scams. In many places the city winds up causing more accidents because they go around reprogramming the yellow light segments to be very short, on purpose to issue more tckets and collect more revenue.

Camera tickets suck, as they are often set to blast you on the yellow, or coupled with short yellow transitions. They are analogous to speed traps.

But, this strikes me as more in the spirit of the High School “Promise Program” which enabled the Parkland shooter. Of course, anything fostered by Obama was really designed to normalize the statistically bad behavior of blacks. The killing of the mostly white Parkland HS students was collateral damage.

But, it might launch David Hogg’s career. /S

Red light cameras are nothing more than a money making machine. They have absolutely nothing to do with safety.

Leftists are okay with illegals running red lights and killing Americans, and they are okay with red light camera fines as a way of transferring wealth from productive Americans to their voters. What they are not okay with is the discovery that their illegal voters get most of those tickets.

They need to be gone from everywhere. Never understood how these ever passed constitutional muster. Plus, the clear abuse that seems too typical in their use to simply raise money rather than improve safety.

Look here: http://www.highwayrobbery.net/ for ways to beat red light camera tickets. The info is for CA, but probably applies to other states as well.

Got a ticket from one of those once.

I went down to the courthouse and filed the paperwork to subpoena for the release of the source code of the software that was operating the camera on the day of the incident.

All defendants have the legal right to confront and cross examine their accusers in a court of law. In this case, the accuser was a robot. So I told them that I was asserting my right under the Constitution and they had no choice but to give me the source code.

They dropped the case like a hot rock.

Police need to actually get out their and patrol the streets. Red light and speed cameras are just a way of generating revenue for a city. While when a police officer pulls someone over they run the IDs of the person and can arrest on outstanding warrants and visually check the car and person for suspicious activity.

Even worse, in liberal Montgomery County, MD, red light camera tickets were/are given for right turn on red after stop violations. The technology for red light cameras was never intended to catch people who did not come to a full (and apparently long enough) stop befor turning right. When these violations were added, thenumber of tickets issued increased dramatically.

Could have sworn they’re pulling ‘em out of Jax because they’ve been voted out in Tally.

Got a few around the house, causing more problems then they were designed to ‘solve’ (presuming that anything BUT ‘raking in the $$$’ was the plan).

Those who support red light cameras argue they improve traffic safety.

Cop - "How did you not see that van you back-ended at the light?" Driver, "I was looking to see if there was one of those traffic cameras on the pole."
