I am project manager on this issue for the Police Department. I am personally interested in hearing from all those who support this initiative and those who have reservations about the application this type of technology. Each citizen's voice in this matter is important and many have raised valid concerns about some of the intentional, unintentional effects, and/or intrusions that this new type of enforcement may cause.
I believe that this is an opportunity to police smarter, to use technology to enhance traditional traffic law enforcement efforts. The Department's overall goal is to reduce traffic violations thereby reducing accidents to make our streets safer. The Department is seeking to accomplish this via the most efficient and effective manner possible. Note: Red light cameras are not surveillance cameras. Only those persons breaking certain traffic laws will trigger a photo. Those who respect & obey the traffic laws will never generate a photograph. Please feel to contact me via email. Thank you for you consideration to this issue. Stop on Red Lt. Gregory W. Reinhardt Minneapolis Police Department CODEFOR Unit 612-673-3587 [EMAIL PROTECTED] REMINDERS: 1.
