I like how the mayor claims it's not about revenue. The whole article is about how they need more money.

The teaser was that they were going to scrap the cameras.
You had to stay up and watch the news to find out they plan to replace them. WHAT A BUMMER !

There sure is a high rate of dismissal, though, when challenged.

The city is beginning to install new cameras that produce high-resolution pictures and 12-second video clips that further illustrate a possible violation, offer 24-hour video surveillance and can monitor up to 20 vehicles at once for more than 300 feet.

The city’s red-light camera program is nothing short of highway robbery, a lawsuit will claim.

A couple of months ago I bought a red light speed camera subscription then installed both files. Should I just delete the old files from the 760 then install the new files?

Over the past two decades, advocates have argued the main advantage of a speed camera is that the machines never lies. Most states codify this belief with a legal presumption that the automated citation is accurate and it is up to the defendant to prove otherwise.

The Baltimore City speed camera ticket alleged that the four-door Mazda wagon was going 38 miles per hour in a 25-mph zone — and that owner Daniel Doty owed $40 for the infraction.

But the Mazda wasn't speeding.

It wasn't even moving.

Well, this should create some comments but it seems the citizens in Minnesota support the use of speed cameras in construction and school zones.

Collier County Florida has terminated the Contract with American Solutions - Red Light Camera Provider. Studies have shown that the Red Light Cameras did not contribute to the decrease in intersection accidents.
