Maybe I don't live in the land of the crazies after all!
After the town in which i live (Cary, NC) removed all the red light cameras because a couple of the red lights where the camera's where installed had short yellow cycles, and mainly due to a Cary resident who decided to make his life goal getting rid of red light cameras because of a few bad apples
- which makes me wonder if that fellow resident will also try to remove apples from supermarkets, if you have i mean a few bad apples time to rid the town of ALL apples!
A Wake County Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway properly ruled Thursday that drivers who challenged Cary’s red-light camera program are not entitled to refunds of their $50 tickets.
Bravo to Superior Court Judge Ridgeway!
i only wish the town would decide to put them back in!
- BUT broker a better deal with camera companies...
- apparently the original deal gave 90% of proceeds to the company who installed and maintained the red-light cameras while that company shouldered NONE of the legal costs! not such a good deal.
HOWEVER
i believe that red-light camers are useful as a red-light running deterrent, change serious and many times fatal t-bone intersection collisions to some minor speed read enders, and free the police to do more important things
