 I'd be happy if they could put red light cameras in at every busy intersection in Rome.  There are some dangerous drivers in this town.  They speed through red lights and if cameras will make them stop and think, I'm all for it.  My only concern is the danger in people slamming on their brakes.  Hopefully they'll continue adding cameras to the dangerous intersections.  As soon as enough money is made from the Martha Berry intersection to purchase and install cameras for another intersection, they could do that...and so on.

 i think you should HAVE to be caught by a real police officer...............................who has a 16 week certification course in red light enforcement............................AND the officer must capture you running the redlight on his dashmounted video system in addition to a beta max recorder that he holds on his shoulder and drives around (just to combat all that video tampering that the po-po are famous for).....................................................AND the violator must ADMIT that they run the redlight.............................AND there must be a video taken by a non-interested, neutral, detached party who has also completed the 16 week red light enforcement class...................otherwise, it should be automatic, Not Guilty :D

They still have to prove it by Jan. 1st 2010, do studies to make sure that engineering alternatives would be better, and the State DOT has the final say on all cameras and can withdraw the approval for them at any time.

You forgot the requirement that the video taken by a non-interested, neutral, detached party has to be clearly filmed on a cell phone camera.

 Additionally,
I think still another non-interested party should have to be filming all parties involved including those filming to prove it might have happened before it could even be considered to have existed and then entered in court.

 The other alternative would be to obey the traffic laws. Nah, sorry I suggested that. Probably never work.

Red light cameras bypass due process, which is unconstitutional.  Think about this:

Let's say it's the family car, or your kid takes the car, or for whatever reason, whoever the car is registered to isn't the one driving.  Flash goes the camera, who does the ticket get mailed to? Voila, guilty until proven innocent. That is un-American. Just sayin'.

There are several other reasons I hate those cameras. They don't "work" like many people think they do. They actually make intersections more dangerous. Just speaking from the statistics I've read and my experience as a motorcyclist. Just sayin'.


simple fix ....two birds with one stone.....register your car in your mother in laws name...run all the lights you want too. LOL    (satire)

 Mine is registered in Frick's name.....wait....that might not be such a good idea.  They would know it was fake then.  Thank you folks! I'll be here all week!

 Here is an interesting article that I read in Newsweek yesterday.  Luckily, I was able to find it on their website so that I could post it here.  It is an article about radar detectors that have GPS built in and they notify the driver when they are approaching a photo-enforced intersection.
