Dallas' red light cameras may be shut down

[lokiju]

Article

Pretty much, Dallas wants to shut down the expensive red light cameras because people are aware the cameras are there and are actually obeying the law, as a result they're not giving out enough tickets and making enough money.

Why am I not surprised?

I searched for traffic, ticket and camera.

What fantasy world are you living in? Government's purpose now is to grow bigger and bigger.

As soon as they're shut down, people will start ignoring them again.

If that were the case, would it be a ticketable offense to flash your headlights to oncoming traffic to warn them of a speed trap?

hmmm maybe they should instead put up fake red light cameras....

The article states the truth. I got a ticket over at Lovers & 75 (westbound on Lovers turning to go north on the service road to 75). And funny enough - it was the first camera that I've seen that ticketed based off of not stopping completely for a right hand turn. (I looked, no one came, didn't really bother stopping completely before turning right)

I'm there at least once a week, so I stop fully now at that light. One $75 ticket at a light is enough to teach me.

Jerk! Don't you know you're screwing up the government's cash flow by obeying the law?!?!?

You did a fantastic job of missing the point of the article.

Strangely it doesn't bother me that much, I still find it funny when it happens to me.

It was a rhetorical comment for the newer mods. :beer:

It got old the 576th time I clicked on it.

So the question of whether or not to have the cameras is how much revenue they generate (as evidenced by plans to scale back increases in camera numbers). That being the case, why not have fewer officers if they are costing the city money?

in North Carolina a woman died when a red light camera fell on her head and killed her. so they're actually taking lives here instead of saving them. I'm sure her family sued so that canceled out any $ they ever made off that camera
