EFFF Red light cameras

[kingjason]

The letter has a Plano Police officer's signature and badge number on it, to me, that's enough for me to get a trial, plead not guilty, and face my accuser (6th amendment).

I know in Cedar Hill they have police officers review them to make sure they are good violations.

I thought about this thread the other night as I was going down Plano Pkwy. I don't live in that area, so I am not familiar with the traffic flow. I had 3 redlights in a row that went yellow at just the right moment so that I had to either get hard on the brakes or go through and take a chance on a redlight ticket. I wasn't speeding either. I was going the speed limit. I swear they must have sensors that trip the light to yellow to increase the chances of producing red light runners.

I can not remember what city but there was much scandal a few years back. Someone got hold of a email referencing them shortening the yellow cycle because the cameras were not generating enough revenue. So much for the whole "our cameras are just there to cut down on accidents " bullshit.

If the cameras are owned by a private company, what is the penalty for shooting them out?

Public beating, dog execution, and a taze to the elbow.

Finally happened, a $100 collection just showed up on my credit from XEROX SOLUTI, they appear to handle red light tickets. Who do I need to call to get this BS removed?

Usually you can dispute it but i'm sure they have evidence, otherwise you can pay it on the condition they remove it from the credit report.

They have evidence of my aunt from Chihuahua, MX driving my truck through a redlight cam? Guess I need to give them her info.

Same company happened to me. They designated it as a parking ticket to skirt the wording of the law.

I cited this in my dispoute with transunion and it was taken off post-haste.

Very nice, thanks

I tend to think ANYONE in government that authorizes such items should be executed, or at the very least, voted out.
