“It’s no different than having a police officer sitting at a corner,” Penksa argued.
The basis of my concern. A physical cop sitting there versus a camera is a HUGE difference.
place cameras at 50 high-volume intersections
Again… where? Are they going to reduce patrols at these intersections and areas since they have cameras now?
The latest figures show that 30 percent of traffic and pedestrian accidents happen at intersections with signal lights.
How is a camera taking a picture of a red light runner going to help this? Of this 30% of accidents, how many of these are related to people running the red light?
Lastly, they keep saying 3 million dollars in revenue… how did they get this number? Are they counting cars go through and saying “well if we wrote them a ticket, we could make some money”?
