CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger found most everyone who challenged
the white line tickets in court lost.


It is about money, not justice.


It's about dangerous and assh#$% drivers.



There have been numerous studies done where they have installed
cameras at intersections and the conclusion in every one I've seen
is that they had no effect on safety at all. LA is a good example.
After spending taxpayer $$$ to install them, they are taking them out,
part of the reason being they say there was no impact on safety.


L.A. traffic cameras may get the red light
Citing costs and safety issues, the Police Commission votes to shut
the cameras down. Unless the City Council intervenes, their use at 32
intersections could end within weeks.
June 08, 2011|By Joel Rubin, Los Angeles TimesThe Los Angeles Police
Commission has voted to kill the city's controversial red-light camera
program, rejecting claims that the system makes streets safer while
costing the city nothing.

Tuesday's vote means that the red-light cameras installed at 32
intersections throughout the city could stop operating within a few
weeks unless the City Council takes the unusual step of stripping the
Police Commission of its authority over the issue.
