I would hope that the dollars collected from the potential cameras would be used to hire more police officers. I have almost been hit several times by folks speeding through the red light. Maybe the cameras could capture other activity going on in the area.

This afternoon the Public Safety and Regulatory Services Committee voted 4-0 (Niziolek, Colvin Roy, Johnson, Samuels) to move a proposed red light camera ordinance forward. CM Colvin Roy indicated she receives more complaints regarding speeding and red light running than any other issue except the airport noise. CMs Niziolek and Johnson said they receive a substantial number of speeding and red light running complaints. CM Samuels said he is willing to give red light cameras a try but he is concern about potential legal challenges. Opponents to the ordinance testified that it raised a number of privacy and due process issues and that it was a mere drivers tax revenue raiser. Bill Dooley Kenny REMINDERS: 1.
