More Questions About Red Light Cameras


     The US Public Interest Research Group is out with a report suggesting safeguards to protect citizens from abuse.
     It includes several suggestions I like, including:
  • Avoid direct or indirect incentives for vendors that are based on the volume of tickets or fines.
   Most of the red light camera systems in Alabama that I know of give a percentage of the fines to the vendors to provide them with a profit. In other words, the more tickets, the more profits.

    That's why I avoid the Vaughn Rd-South (or is it East?) Blvd. intersection when possible. I'm allergic to those red-light cameras.
