How would a camera there make things any safer? If I'm on my motorcycle and some soccer mom in her huge SUV is chatting her cell phone behind me, do you think I'm gonna slam on my brakes for a yellow light so I can avoid the ticket while the lady plows into me? No thanks. Red light cameras often cause more accidents than they prevent because of panic stops. The camera vans are nothing but a revenue generator. Why else do they hide? If they want folks to slow down, they'd make themselves conspicuous, if not put up signs warning folks to slow down.

Luckily, I also have an excellent radar detector and will be upgrading soon to the Escort 9500i, which I suspect the previous poster is talking about. And I fight all tickets (been a long time since I got one), just to make sure the state loses more money than they'll ever get out of me.
LMFAO at dudley do right!

Maybe your tune will change if, God Forbid, you are involved in an accident with either major injuries or, even worse, death due to an inconsiderate, first person singular, immature driver either speeding or running a red light.

Believe me, it happens and it happens far too often.
we have enough morons in this world...maybe this will rid of some!

My issue with cameras is more philosophical. We're allowing a whole new slippery slope of justice.

- We used to be able to face our accuser in court. Hard to do with a machine.
- Law enforcement was a police function, now it's a city council decision.
- Law enforcement was also a police function, but is now be contracted to privated companies. The extreme DUI guy arrested last week was empowered by local govt. to set up and callibrate the checkpoint issuing you tickets.
- Courts should be independent of city budgets. But a judge ruling on your case is being funded by the prosecution. We once valued impartiality, but our judges have skin in the game and it's fiscally prudent for them to rule against you.
- The whole system is designed to make it easier to pay fees and get off, rather than actually fight or make an issue of things.
- The laws are not equally applied. Govt cars - free pass. Company cars - free pass. Rental cars - free pass. Most lawyers now register their cars under their company names these days. They can run 27 red lights and go 130 MPH by every camera... and never get a ticket. Same with your mayor, most likely. And any company owner with an ounce of sense.
- Have the cameras allowed cops to focus on other crimes? For example, have they been catching more reckless drivers as they've not been burdened with ticket writing for simpler things?

I'm all for ticketing and driving enforcement, but I'm also a big fan of fair laws.
AMEN...and not to mention privacy...I think one day they're going to ticket a wrong person(i.e. lawyer, rich bastard) and pi$$'em off and he will sue and win in court.

Is there a way to go online to see if they have suspended your license? My husband recently got a photo radar ticket, but has a CDL...Therefore he is not allowed to take a class and it will stay on his record for 3 years.
He got caught in the speed trap on Rural where it goes from 45 to 35 and then back up to 45..He can't afford to get this ticket because he could lose his job...This really sucks because our livelyhood is on the line over this one stupid ticket.
Now we have to hide out fron the process server for 3 months and I don't know how we are going to do it....This law that CDL drivers can't take a class is so unfair because of the amount of driving they do compared to regular folks- the odds are stacked against them.

I believe a law has passed so now Photo Radar tickets do not take points off a license. Look into it and pay it if you don't want to try waiting it out 3 months.

So I ignored a photo radar ticket, and on 3 separate occasions, someone came to my door to serve me. The last time this happened, my wife answered and said i wasn't home, so the officer gave the ticket to her. I've since gotten a letter saying my license was suspended for a missed court date.

As far as I know, they can't legally give the ticket to my wife and consider me personally served, but, with my license now suspended, what can I do about it?
