Before & After data on a red light camera - Highland Park, Illinois
The Chicago Tribune has reported before-and-after data for a highway red light camera (US 41 at Park Avenue) operated by Redflex in Highland Park, an upscale suburb of Chicago. The data strongly suggest /shockface/ that the mayor of Highland Park is being disingenuous when she suggests the reason for red-light camera enforcement at this location is public safety, not revenue.

Secrecy in public meetings is nothing new for Chicago....

Ticket cameras as a revenue source
I saw this interesting article about how ticket cameras are a major government revenue source.
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/americas-roads-h...
Do we really want to live in a "Big Brother" society where the government constantly tracks all of our movements?
What do speed traps, parking tickets, toll roads, speed cameras and red light cameras all have in common? They are all major revenue sources for state and local governments.

Escort Defender Database...Type of File Format?
Hello all! I'm new to the forum and thought I would make my first posting. Does anyone know what POI file format is used in the Escort Defender database? I have an Escort 9500ix radar detector/gps unit with a Defender subscription and I'm curious if it is possible to manipulate the files. I'm interested in personalizing the information uploaded to my unit.

another case imho for a ticket cam
I was leaving a plaza today, in the left turn only lane.
Guess what? There is a woman in a white Nissan, TO MY LEFT, with her right signal on.
She is on the wrong side of the traffic island, and had traveled the wrong direction for the length of the road leading to the plaza.

California: Firm Rigs Data In Bid To Keep Red Light Cameras
Ever since November when voters in Murrieta, California rejected red light cameras at the ballot box, American Traffic Solutions (ATS) has been on a campaign to turn them back on. The strategy has been two-fold: use the courts to overturn the public's decision, then convince the city council to reactivate the devices in the name of public safety.

Red light camera must show "a positive impact on public safety"
Red light cameras must show that they are actually installed for public safety (on state roads) now in Arizona
This applies to new camera installations and previously installed cameras will be reviewed every three years.
Signed into law today
Started seeing the Camera Vans throughout Scottsdale again
They disappeared for a while but they're back and I'm seeing more speed traps everywhere I drive. Thank God for that Passport radar!
