A past excerpt.......after it was announced that 19 more cameras would have been added:
It is interesting that the cameras cause the very thing they are
"supposed" to prevent. Not only that, but it has been well documented
that red light cameras cause crashes, yet the persuit of revenue takes
precedent. Everyone on both sides of the issue knows it's about money
and not safety.
The cameras will stay until the right person files the right lawsuit.
They won't listen to you. The TV stations might. The city council might
listen, but you have to request in advance to get on the "list" to speak
for 5 minutes...and they will not answer any questions.
I have a camera in my car (for another reason) should I be the one who
witnesses it. And it will take the right incident to bring this to their attention.
"Right" meaning 1.someone will be killed or seriously injured.
2.The camera will have to have been present and did not prevent anything.
Unfortunately bureuacratic logic is:
"well now that we have a crash, we need to put up more red light cameras!"
....and they ignore the facts of the cause....and put cameras in the hot revenue spots... LOL -Bob
